Draw an example of perpendicular lines and explain what makes the two lines perpendicular. (You can copy and paste an image from the web).

As an AI text-based model, I'm unable to directly copy and paste images. However, I can describe an example to you.

Let's imagine two lines intersecting at a point, such that they form four right angles (each measuring 90 degrees) where they meet. This would fulfill the criteria for perpendicular lines.

To explain why these lines are perpendicular, we can consider the concept of angles. When two lines are perpendicular, the angles formed where they intersect are always equal to 90 degrees. A right angle consists of 90 degrees, so when two lines meet to form four right angles, it means they are perpendicular. This property causes the lines to meet at a right angle, making them perpendicular lines.
