Question
can you match the teachers comments to the definitions?
definition of perpendicular lines teachers comments
danielas definition: \\( \overleftrightarrow { a b } \\) is
perpendicular to \\( \overleftrightarrow { c d } \\) if the
measure of \\( \angle a o c \\) equals the
measure of \\( \angle a o d \\). please rework your definition to use
more precise mathematical language.
oris definition: \\( \overleftrightarrow { a b } \\) is
perpendicular to \\( \overleftrightarrow { c d } \\) if \\( \overleftrightarrow { a b } \\)
and \\( \overleftrightarrow { c d } \\) intersect perfectly
sidways. well done! i hadnt previously
considered defining perpendicular
lines in terms of a rigid
transformation like rotation, but by
golly it works!
kaoris definition: \\( \overleftrightarrow { a b } \\) is
perpendicular to \\( \overleftrightarrow { c d } \\) if one
line can be mapped to the
other by a rotation about point
\\( o \\) of \\( 90 ^ { \circ } \\). well done! because the measure of
\\( \angle c o d \\) is \\( 180 ^ { \circ } \\) (by the definition of
a straight angle), the measures of
angles \\( \angle a o c \\) and \\( \angle a o d \\) must
both be \\( 90 ^ { \circ } \\).
- Daniela's definition: The statement about angles \( \angle AOC \) and \( \angle AOD \) having equal measures is a valid geometric concept related to perpendicular lines (since if two adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal and their sum is \( 180^{\circ}\) (as \( \angle COD = 180^{\circ}\) by the definition of a straight - angle), then each angle is \( 90^{\circ}\)). So, the comment “Well done! Because the measure of \( \angle COD\) is \( 180^{\circ}\) (by the definition of a straight angle), the measures of angles \( \angle AOC\) and \( \angle AOD\) must both be \( 90^{\circ}\)” matches Daniela's definition.
- Ori's definition: The phrase “intersect perfectly sideways” is not precise mathematical language. So, the comment “Please rework your definition to use more precise mathematical language” matches Ori's definition.
- Kaori's definition: A rotation of \( 90^{\circ}\) about a point \( O\) is a rigid transformation (a type of transformation in geometry). So, the comment “Well done! I hadn't previously considered defining perpendicular lines in terms of a rigid transformation like rotation, but by golly it works!” matches Kaori's definition.
