The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to understand the relationship between two lines that meet at a point and form right angles. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Right Angles**: - When two lines intersect, they can form different types of angles. A right angle is defined as an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. 2. **Identifying the Lines**: - Let's denote the two lines as Line L1 and Line L2. When these two lines intersect, they create angles at the point of intersection. 3. **Condition for Perpendicularity**: - For two lines to be considered perpendicular, they must intersect in such a way that the angles formed between them are right angles (90 degrees). 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when two lines meet at a point forming right angles, we say that they are **perpendicular** to each other. ### Final Answer: When two lines meet at a point forming right angles, they are said to be **perpendicular** to each other. ---
