Math Problem Statement
answer
Which two line segments are perpendicular to AB?
Solution
The question asks which two line segments are perpendicular to . From the image:
- is marked as a horizontal line segment.
- Right angles are explicitly marked at both ends of , at points and .
Perpendicular Line Segments
- : At , this vertical line segment is perpendicular to .
- : At , this vertical line segment is also perpendicular to .
Conclusion:
The two line segments perpendicular to are and .
