In geometry, two straight lines are perpendicular if they intersect at a 90° angle, represented by the ⊥ symbol, which consists of a horizontal and vertical bar.
Using the Perpendicular Symbol in LaTeX
In LaTeX, the \perp command is used to represent the perpendicular symbol (⊥). Additionally, the \: command adds space between elements for better readability.
\[ p \perp q \] \[ a \: \bot \: b \]
Output :
Using the Not ⊥ Symbol
Sometimes, you may need to indicate that two lines are not perpendicular. In this case, the \not\perp command is used.
\[ p \not\perp q \]
Output :
These commands allow for clear and precise representation of perpendicular relationships in LaTeX documents.
