  1. if lines l1 and l2 are parallel we can write l1 (1) transparent  l2
  2. if lines l1 and l2 are perpendicular we can write l1 (2) transparent  l2
Please drag and drop the selected option in the right place or type it instead
\(\parallel\)
\(\bot\)

Correct Answer

(1) \(\bot\)
(2) \(\parallel\)

Explanation

  1. If lines l1 (read as “l sub 1”) and l2 (read as “l sub 2”) are parallel, we can write l1 \(\parallel\) l2, where the symbol is read as “is parallel to.”
  2. If lines l1 (read as “l sub 1”) and l2 (read as “l sub 2”) are perpendicular, we can write l1 \(\bot\) l2, where the symbol is read as “is perpendicular to.”
