perpendicular lines/planes

Hello students, in this blog we are going to discuss the Perpendicular Lines Definition and planes. But before starting you should be known to the means of perpendicular. Perpendicular means anything at right angles or 90 degree.
The perpendicular lines are intersecting to each other at the right angle or 90 degree. A line has no ends and no thickness.
Another definition of perpendicular lines are, if any two line intersecting each other and forming four equal angles than it is also said to be perpendicular lines and all four angles will be equal to 90 degrees in the case of two perpendicular lines.
Some examples of perpendicular lines are : -
-We draw the graph paper, so on the graph paper, the x axis and y axis are the perpendicular lines.
-The lowest and larger axis of ellipse is also perpendicular.
Note : - In a plane, the perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocal slopes that means the slopes' products is -1. And two perpendicular lines (get more detail here) can be shown by the symbol that is reverse of T. we can make the perpendicular lines by using compass and straightedge. If any line is perpendicular to two or more lines then it will also be perpendicular to the plane. If any line is perpendicular to a plane, than every plane that having the same line will also perpendicular to that plane. We can also find the length of Perpendicular lines.
Whereas the perpendicular planes are the planes in which a plane have a perpendicular line to the other plane and a plane is a flat surface and it also has no thickness.

The perpendicular lines and perpendicular planes can be understand more, if we will see them graphically.

In upcoming posts we will discuss about Properties of inscribed and circumscribed polygons of circles and Learn Cross Sections and Planes. Visit our website for information on West Bengal board of primary education
