Perpendicular Lines

Objective:

    To know what perpendicular lines are and to be able to prove it's theorems.

Lesson 2-4 Perpendicular Lines

    Perpendicular Lines : Two lines that intersect to form right angles (90º Angles). If there is an intersection with an angle begin 90º then a person can conclude that the intersection is an example of perpendicular lines

Theorem 2-4

If two lines are perpendicular, then they form congruent adjacent angles

Angle 1, Angle 2, Angle 3, and Angle 4 are all congruent adjacent angles.

 

Theorem 2-5

If two lines form congruent adjacent angles, then the lines are perpendicular.

Angle 1, Angle 2, Angle 3, and Angle 4 are all congruent adjacent angles, therefore the lines are perpendicular.

Theorem 2-6

If the exterior sides of two adjacent acute angles are perpendicular, then the angles are complimentary

Angle ABD and Angle DBC are complimentary angles.
