A line that is at a right angle to another line?

Perpendicular line.


What do you need to do to prove a line is an angle bisector of an angle?

Draw a perpendicular to that line and extend the arms of the angle to meed the perpendicular drawn earlier. Check if the line is bisecting the perpendicular, if yes, then the line is a bisector of the angle. :)


Does a perpendicular line have to have a right angle?

Yes!!! If you have a base line and draw a perpendicular line from it, then the perpendicular line is at 90 degrees angle. The word 'perpendicular' means '90 dgerees'.


What is the difference between a perpendicular bisector and a angle bisector?

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a given line segment into halves, and is perpendicular to the line segment. An angle bisector is a line that bisects a given angle.


What is a perpendicular?

perpendicular is a line drawn at an angle 90 to other given line


A line is perpendicular to another line when?

A line is perpendicular to another line when it is at an angle of 90° to the other line. + (that plus sign is an example of a perpendicular line)


How is constructing a perpendicular bisector similar to constructing an angle bisector?

No. Well... kind of because they are both bisections. The difference is that the angle bisector splits an angle in half, while a perpendicular bisector creates a right angle from a horizontal line. They both "split" something in half.


How are perpendicular lines and intersecting line?

Both lines intersect other lines, but the difference is a perpendicular line intersects another line at a 90 degree angle meanwhile the intersecting lines can meet at any angle


When a line is perpendicular to a line segment what angle do they form at their intersection?

a right angle


How can you use perpendicular and angle bisectors to form a 45 degree angle?

You draw a perpendicular at the end of a line segment. You then bisect the right angle formed between the original line and the perpendicular. The resulting angle will be 45 degrees.


Which term describes lines that intersect at a 90 degree angle?

It is a perpendicular line that intercepts another line at 90 degrees.


What is a line that is like perpendicular but straighter?

"Perpendicular" is a straight line at a 90 degree angle from a line it touches or intersects. There is no line "straighter" than a perpendicular line, that I know of.
