Intersecting Lines
Two lines that cross each other at a particular point are
called intersecting lines. The point where two lines cross is called the point
of intersection.
Definition of Intersecting Lines:
If two lines have one common point, they are called intersecting lines.
For Example:
(i) Two adjacent edges of a notebook
(ii) Crossing roads
(iii) The multiplication sign (×) etc. are the examples of the intersecting lines.
In the given figure \(\underset{AB}{\leftrightarrow}\) and \(\underset{CD}{\leftrightarrow}\) intersect each other at point O.
Working Rules to Draw Intersecting Lines:
Step I: Draw a line \(\overleftrightarrow{AB}\) and another line \(\overleftrightarrow{CD}\).
Step II: Let them intersect each other at a point O.
Step III: The point of intersection O lies on line AB as well as on line CD.
Now, we can say that lines AB and CD are intersecting lines. They intersect at one point O.

In parallel lines when two lines do not intersect each other at any point even if they are extended to infinity. What are parallel lines in geometry? Two lines which do not intersect each other
Triangles are classified in two ways: (i) On the basis of sides and, (ii) On the basis of angles.In classification of triangle there are six elements in a triangle, that is, three sides and three angles. So, classification of triangle is done on the base of these elements.
Pairs of angles are discussed here in this lesson. 1. Complementary Angles: Two angles whose sum is 90° are called complementary angles and one is called the complement of the other.
