Discover the Power of Perpendicular Lines: Exploring Challenging Theorems and Problems Related to 90-Degree Angles

In geometry, two lines are said to be perpendicular if they intersect at a 90-degree angle. Here are some important concepts related to perpendicular lines in geometry:

1. Perpendicular bisector: A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint and forms a right angle with the segment.

2. Perpendicular lines theorem: If two lines intersect to form a pair of congruent, adjacent angles (i.e. two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees), then the lines are perpendicular.

3. Slope of perpendicular lines: The slopes of two lines that are perpendicular to each other are negative reciprocals. In other words, if the slope of one line is m, then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is -1/m.

4. Perpendicular planes: In three-dimensional space, two planes are said to be perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle.

5. Pythagorean theorem: The Pythagorean theorem can be used to determine if a triangle is a right triangle, which means that one of its angles is 90 degrees (and therefore, any line segment that is perpendicular to one of its sides will be perpendicular to the other side as well).

Understanding these concepts is essential in solving geometry problems involving perpendicular lines and angles.
