Step-by-step solution for: Geometry Worksheets | Lines Worksheets
Let's solve this step by step based on the image you've provided. The goal is to identify each pair of lines as either parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting.
---
We have several lines and points labeled. Let’s identify key features:
- Line FQ: Vertical line from F to Q (going down).
- Line CN: Horizontal line from C to N (going right).
- Line DZ: Horizontal line from D to Z (same level as CN).
- Line YG: Vertical line from Y to G.
- Line MW: Vertical line from M to W.
- Line HT: Diagonal line from H to T (going down and to the right).
- Right angles are marked at intersections like:
- F and D on FQ with CN and DZ → indicates perpendicularity.
- M and W on MW with CN and DZ → also perpendicular.
- Y and G on YG with CN and DZ → perpendicular.
So:
- All vertical lines: FQ, YG, MW
- All horizontal lines: CN, DZ
- Diagonal line: HT
---
Now let’s go through each question:
---
- FQ is vertical.
- HT is diagonal (not vertical or horizontal).
- They intersect at a point (visually, HT crosses FQ).
- But they are not perpendicular (angle ≠ 90°), nor parallel.
- So: Intersecting lines.
> ✔ Answer: Intersecting
---
- Both are vertical lines.
- They are not the same line, but run in the same direction.
- Since they are both vertical and never meet (they're separated horizontally), they are parallel.
> ✔ Answer: Parallel
---
- DZ is horizontal.
- YG is vertical.
- They intersect at point G (where DZ meets YG).
- The angle between them is 90° (right angle marked).
- So they are perpendicular.
> ✔ Answer: Perpendicular
---
- CN is horizontal.
- HT is diagonal.
- They intersect at some point (likely near the center).
- Not at a right angle → not perpendicular.
- Not parallel → different directions.
- So: Intersecting
> ✔ Answer: Intersecting
---
- Both are vertical lines.
- FQ and MW are separate, but both go up/down.
- Never meet → Parallel
> ✔ Answer: Parallel

- DZ is horizontal.
- FQ is vertical.
- They intersect at point D (marked with a right angle).
- So: Perpendicular

---
- CN is horizontal.
- FQ is vertical.
- They intersect at point F (right angle marked).
- So: Perpendicular
> ✔ Answer: Perpendicular
---
- YG is vertical.
- HT is diagonal.
- They intersect at point T (HT ends at T, which is on YG).
- Angle is not 90° → not perpendicular.
- Not parallel → different directions.
- So: Intersecting

- Parallel lines: Never meet; same direction (e.g., FQ & YG).
- Perpendicular lines: Meet at 90° (right angle marked).
- Intersecting lines: Cross at any angle other than 90°, or even at 90° — but if it's 90°, we say "perpendicular".
> Note: Perpendicular lines are a subset of intersecting lines, but when the angle is exactly 90°, we use "perpendicular" instead of "intersecting".
✔ So for questions where there’s a right angle, always use "Perpendicular".

🔍 First, analyze the diagram:
We have several lines and points labeled. Let’s identify key features:
- Line FQ: Vertical line from F to Q (going down).
- Line CN: Horizontal line from C to N (going right).
- Line DZ: Horizontal line from D to Z (same level as CN).
- Line YG: Vertical line from Y to G.
- Line MW: Vertical line from M to W.
- Line HT: Diagonal line from H to T (going down and to the right).
- Right angles are marked at intersections like:
- F and D on FQ with CN and DZ → indicates perpendicularity.
- M and W on MW with CN and DZ → also perpendicular.
- Y and G on YG with CN and DZ → perpendicular.
So:
- All vertical lines: FQ, YG, MW
- All horizontal lines: CN, DZ
- Diagonal line: HT

Now let’s go through each question:
---
✔ 1) Line FQ and Line HT are __________ lines.
- FQ is vertical.
- HT is diagonal (not vertical or horizontal).
- They intersect at a point (visually, HT crosses FQ).
- But they are not perpendicular (angle ≠ 90°), nor parallel.
- So: Intersecting lines.
> ✔ Answer: Intersecting
---
✔ 2) Line FQ and Line YG are __________ lines.
- Both are vertical lines.
- They are not the same line, but run in the same direction.
- Since they are both vertical and never meet (they're separated horizontally), they are parallel.
> ✔ Answer: Parallel
---
✔ 3) Line DZ and Line YG are __________ lines.
- DZ is horizontal.
- YG is vertical.
- They intersect at point G (where DZ meets YG).
- The angle between them is 90° (right angle marked).
- So they are perpendicular.
> ✔ Answer: Perpendicular
---
✔ 4) Line CN and Line HT are __________ lines.
- CN is horizontal.
- HT is diagonal.
- They intersect at some point (likely near the center).
- Not at a right angle → not perpendicular.
- Not parallel → different directions.
- So: Intersecting

✔ 5) Line FQ and Line MW are __________ lines.
- Both are vertical lines.
- FQ and MW are separate, but both go up/down.
- Never meet → Parallel

- YG is vertical.
- HT is diagonal.
- They intersect at point T (HT ends at T, which is on YG).
- Angle is not 90° → not perpendicular.

💡 Summary of Definitions:
- Parallel lines: Never meet; same direction (e.g., FQ & YG).
- Perpendicular lines: Meet at 90° (right angle marked).
- Intersecting lines: Cross at any angle other than 90°, or even at 90° — but if it's 90°, we say "perpendicular".
> Note: Perpendicular lines are a subset of intersecting lines, but when the angle is exactly 90°, we use "perpendicular" instead of "intersecting".
✔ So for questions where there’s a right angle, always use "Perpendicular".
