Question

27
what is the relationship of lines \\( \overline { a c } \\) and \\( \overline { b d } \\) to each other?
vertical lines
horizontal lines
perpendicular lines
parallel lines

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definitions

Vertical lines: go up - down. Horizontal lines: go left - right. Perpendicular lines: intersect at \(90^{\circ}\). Parallel lines: never intersect.

Step2: Analyze the figure

Line \(\overline{AC}\) is horizontal. Line \(\overline{BD}\) is vertical. They intersect at \(B\) and the angle between them is \(90^{\circ}\).

Answer:

Perpendicular lines
