Re: perpendicular lines
Hi freemath,
First, draw a rectangle. Label it ABCD. (\(\displaystyle \perp\) means "is perpendicular to")
\(\displaystyle AB \perp BC\)
\(\displaystyle BC \perp CD\)
\(\displaystyle CD \perp DA\)
\(\displaystyle DA \perp AB\)
How many pairs do we have?

A good second grader should be able to answer the questions I asked.

I wonder why you're answering a question that 1) has already been answered and 2) was posted back in APRIL!
