Question

How many right angles does perpendicular bisector MN create with KL?
(1 point)

A perpendicular bisector, by definition, creates two right angles (each measuring 90 degrees) with the line segment it bisects. Therefore, if line segment MN is the perpendicular bisector of line segment KL, it creates two right angles with KL.

So, the answer is **2 right angles**.
Answer
wrong each angle formed is a right angle

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response.

When a line segment (like MN) is a perpendicular bisector of another line segment (like KL), it indeed forms two right angles with KL, each measuring 90 degrees. So, if we are specifically referring to the angles formed by the intersection of the perpendicular bisector with the line segment, you are correct that each of those angles is a right angle.

To clarify, if you consider both angles formed at the intersection, there are still two right angles formed.

Thank you for your understanding! So the correct statement remains that **2 right angles** are formed.
Answer
that is wrong

I apologize for any confusion in my responses. If a line (MN) is perpendicular to another line (KL), then it forms right angles at the point of intersection. Each angle formed at the intersection is indeed a right angle.

- If KL is bisected by MN, and MN is perpendicular to KL, each angle formed between MN and KL at that intersection is 90 degrees.

Thus, when we say MN creates right angles with KL, it technically creates **two right angles** at the points of intersection if you consider both sides of KL.

However, if you're looking for just the total number of right angles created at the intersection, it's important to clarify the context as each distinct right angle at the intersection is counted separately.

If you are stating that a single intersection forms multiple right angles, then for a straight line intersected by a perpendicular line, there's still a traditional count of **two right angles** created at that single point.

If this isn't what you're looking for, please clarify further, and I'll do my best to assist you!
