Let's solve this geometry quiz step by step. The task is to identify whether each pair of lines is
parallel,
perpendicular, or
intersecting.
---
Definitions:
-
Parallel lines: Lines that never meet (same direction, never cross).
-
Perpendicular lines: Lines that intersect at a
90-degree angle (right angle). Often marked with a small square.
-
Intersecting lines: Lines that cross each other at any angle (not necessarily 90 degrees).
---
Now let's analyze each image:
---
1.
Two lines are slanted in the same direction and do not cross.
✔ Parallel
---
2.
Two lines cross each other at an angle (not 90°), forming an "X".
✔ Intersecting
---
3.
Two lines are slanted in the same direction and do not cross.
✔ Parallel
---
4.
Two lines cross, and there’s a
square symbol at the intersection — this means
90°.
✔ Perpendicular
---
5.
Two lines cross at an angle (no right angle symbol).
✔ Intersecting
---
6.
Two lines are parallel and slanted the same way, no crossing.
✔ Parallel
---
7.
Lines cross and there is a
square symbol indicating a right angle.
✔ Perpendicular
---
8.
Lines cross at an angle (not 90°), no right angle symbol.
✔ Intersecting
---
