Lisa has some ice-cream sticks. She writes the word 'HALF' using them as shown below.

Find which one of the following letters is not made up of parallel or perpendicular lines.

• A. A
• B. L
• C. H
• D. F

Answer 1

The correct option is A A

For H:
H is made up of 3 lines. There are 2 parallel lines and 1 line is perpendicular them.

For A:

A is made up of 3 lines. Each of the 3 intersect the other two lines but are none of them are parallel or perpendicular.

For L:
L is made up of 2 lines that are perpendicular to each other.

For F:

F is made up of 3 lines. 2 of the lines are parallel and 1 line is perpendicular to these 2 lines.

Thus, only the letter A cannot be made using parallel and perpendicular lines.
