Let's analyze the image you uploaded to determine whether line \(AC\) is perpendicular to line \(BD\).

In the image:
- \(AC\) and \(BD\) are diagonals intersecting at point \(E\).
- You have a labeled angle of \(40^\circ\) at point \(A\) (specifically, \(\angle EAB = 40^\circ\)).
- At point \(E\), angles on both sides of the diagonals are marked, but no direct indication is given that \(AC\) and \(BD\) are perpendicular (i.e., that their intersection forms a right angle of \(90^\circ\)).

To confirm whether \(AC\) is perpendicular to \(BD\), we would need to check if the angles formed at point \(E\) are right angles. Perpendicular lines intersect to form four \(90^\circ\) angles.

From the given information (especially the presence of angle \(\angle EAB = 40^\circ\) and some symmetry in the diagram), it doesn't seem immediately apparent that the diagonals are perpendicular. However, this is not conclusive without further calculations or more angle measures.

Would you like to explore more details such as:
1. How to calculate the angles at point \(E\) using the information provided?
2. What properties of triangles and transversals could help us in determining perpendicularity?
3. Theorems that relate angles in quadrilaterals and diagonals?
4. Whether this figure could have additional symmetry, such as being a special type of quadrilateral (like a kite or rhombus)?
5. The application of trigonometry in this case?

**Tip**: If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes (if you have their equations) should be \(-1\).

Explore whether line AC is perpendicular to BD in a quadrilateral. Analyze angles, diagonals, and the properties of perpendicularity with detailed explanations. Suitable for students in Grades 8-10.
