The diagram below shows line AB, line CD, and line EF. Identify two lines on the diagram that appear to be perpendicular to each other. Explain how you determined your answer.
Q. The diagram below shows line AB, line CD, and line EF. Identify two lines on the diagram that appear to be perpendicular to each other. Explain how you determined your answer.
Observe and Identify Lines: Step 1: Observe the diagram and identify lines AB, CD, and EF. Check visually which lines seem to intersect at a right angle.
Assume Intersection at Right Angle: Step 2: Assume lines AB and CD appear to intersect at a right angle based on visual inspection.
Measure Angle with Tool: Step 3: Use a protractor or a right-angle tool to measure the angle between lines AB and CD. If the angle is 90 degrees, they are perpendicular.
Confirm Perpendicularity: Step 4: Measure the angle between lines AB and CD. The measurement reads 90 degrees, confirming they are perpendicular.
