Two lines that intersect at right angles are perpendicular. (1 point) The statement is not reversible. Yes; if two lines intersect at right angles, then they are perpendicular. *Yes; if two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect at right angles.

Thank you @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :) wat you're doing in 2nd question ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're trying to write converse of given statement is it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the following definition of perpendicular reversible? If yes, write it as a true biconditional. Two lines that intersect at right angles are perpendicular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're right :) good job !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which biconditional is NOT a good definition? A. Two angles are supplementary if and only if the sum of their right angles measures 180. *B. Two angles that are vertical angles if and only if they are nonadjacent and are formed by two intersecting lines. C. Two angles that form a linear pair if and only if the angles are adjacent. D. The sum of two angles is 90 if and only if they are complementary.
