Identify a pair of perpendicular segments in the diagram. The figure shows two equal rectangles A B C D and E F G H in a space. The rectangles are located on parallel planes. Vertex A corresponds to vertex E. Vertex B corresponds to vertex F. Vertex C corresponds to vertex G. Vertex D corresponds to vertex H. The corresponding vertices are connected with segments. An angle between segment A B and segment A E measures 90 degrees.

A pair of perpendicular segments in the diagram include the following: A. AB ⊥ AE.

In Mathematics and Geometry, perpendicular lines refers to two (2) lines that intersect or meet each other at an angle of 90° (right angles).

Generally speaking, a line that is perpendicular to a horizontal line would not have a slope of 0. Instead, it would have an undefined slope because the line perpendicular to it would be a vertical line and all vertical lines have an undefined slope since the rate of change on the x-axis is zero (0).

In this context, line segments AB and AE represent a pair of perpendicular segments in the diagram.
