Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 17 Practice 3 Answer Key Perpendicular Lines
Guess if the lines are perpendicular. Use a ruler to check your guess.
Question 1.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the wx and yz is 90 degrees.
Question 2.
Answer:
The lines are not perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the pq and rs is greater then 90 degrees.
Question 3.
Answer:
The lines are not perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the ab and cd is greater then 90 degrees.
Question 4.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular and the angle between the ij and kl is 90 degrees
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular,
Question 5.
Answer:
The lines are not perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the ab and cd is greater then 90 degrees.
Question 6.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the pq and rs is 90 degrees.
Check (✓) the box if the lines are perpendicular.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the above figures we can come to conclusion that figures 1, 4 and 6 are parallel lines and
figures 2,3 and 5 are not parallel lines.
Use a ruler to check for perpendicular lines. Use a colored pencil to trace a pair of perpendicular lines in each figure.
Question 7.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the wx and yz is 90 degrees.
Question 8.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the pq and rs is 90 degrees.
Question 9.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the pq and rs is 90 degrees.
Question 10.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the angle between the ij and kl is 90 degrees.
Circle the letters that have perpendicular line segments.
Question 11.
Answer:
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
So, the letters T,L,E,H,F are perpendicular line segmests.
Name all the pairs of perpendicular line segments in each figure.
Example
Segments AB and BC

Segments MN and MR
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
The colors of lines indicate different pairs of line segments.
Question 13.
Answer:
The pairs of perpendicular line segments are:
Segments AB and AG
Segments AB and BC
Segments FE and DE
Explanation:
If the intersection between the two line segment is at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular.
The colors of lines indicate different pairs of line segments.
Question 14.
Answer:
