Which of the following are models for perpendicular lines:

(a) The adjacent edges of a table top.

(b) The lines of a railway track.

(c) The line segments forming the letter ’L’

(d) The letter V.

Answer 1

(a) The adjacent edges of a table top are perpendicular to each other.

(b) The lines of a railway track are parallel to each other.

(c) The line segments forming the letter ’L’ are perpendicular to each other.

(d) The sides of letter V are inclined at some acute angle on each other.

Hence, (a) and (c) are the models for perpendicular lines.
