PERPENDICULAR
LINES
Definition of Perpendicular Lines
Lines Two intersecting
lines are perpendicular if they
form a right angle. The symbol
“⊥” is used to indicate
perpendicular lines. In the
figure at the right, line l is
perpendicular to line m, or in
symbols, you write as “l ⊥
m”. 3

LINES
1. If two intersecting
lines are
perpendicular, then
the pairs of adjacent
angles they form are
congruent.

2. If two lines
intersect to form a
linear pair of
congruent angles,
then the lines are
perpendicular.
