In geometry, two lines or planes (or a line and a plane), are considered perpendicular (or orthogonal) if one falls on the other in such a way as to create congruent adjacent angles. The term may be used as a noun or adjective. Thus, referring to Figure 1, the line AB is the perpendicular to CD through the point B.
