Question

There are four different sets of objects shown in the answer choices. Select all of the sets of objects that could be modeled by perpendicular lines. Two roads that meet at an intersection. The top of a desk and the floor. A tree and its shadow on the ground. Two stars seen in the sky.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Select all of the object sets that could be modelled by perpendicular lines.

A perpendicular line is one that divides a 180 degrees line (or a straight line) into two; creating 90 degrees on one hand and 90 degrees on the other.

OPTIONS:

(A) APPLICABLE

Two roads that meet at an intersection can be modelled by perpendicular lines. Use the definition above as a yardstick.

(B) APPLICABLE

The top of the desk to the floor will represent the dividing line while the floor itself will be the 180° line.

(C) NOT APPLICABLE

A tree and its shadow on the ground will only form a right-angled triangle

(D) NOT APPLICABLE

Two stars seen in the sky cannot be modelled by perpendicular lines. They can only be modelled by a straight line; a line which extends from the first star to the other.
