Question

Waich of the following is a true statement about perpendicular lines?

A. Perpendicular lines intersect to form a 45° angle.
B. Perpendicular lines can also be parallel lines.
C. Perpendicular lines cannot be parallel to each other.
D. Perpendicular lines intersect in at least two points.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

perpendicular lines intersect at a 90 degree angle, meaning it is not answer choice A.

B is incorrect because perpendicular lines intersect, so they can not be parallel.

C is correct because parallel lines never intersect, so perpendicular lines can never be parallel to each other.

D is incorrect because perpendicular lines only intersect at one point and create four consistent right angles.
