CONVERGING LINES
Definition Of Converging Lines
If a number of lines meet at a single point, then those lines are called as Converging Lines.
Example of Converging Lines
As all the lines in the above figure are meeting at a single point, they are converging lines.

Solved Example on Converging Lines
Ques: Which of the figures has the lines P, Q, R, and S converging to the point A?
Choices:
A. Figure 1
B. Figure 2
C. Figure 3
D. Figure 4
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Step 1: If a number of lines meet at a single point, then those lines are called as Converging Lines
Step 2: Here, the lines P, Q, R, and S in Figure 3 are meeting at point A
Step 3: So, Figure 3 has the lines P, Q, R, and S converging to point A.
Quick Summary
- Lines meet at a common point.
- The point of intersection is called the point of convergence.
🍎 Teacher Insights
Use visual aids and real-world examples (e.g., the sides of a pyramid viewed from above, perspective in art) to illustrate converging lines. Use physical manipulatives to allow students to create converging lines.🎓 Prerequisites
