-
  • lineal
following along a given path. The shape of the path is not necessarily straight (compare to linear). For instance, a length of rope might be measured in lineal meters or feet. See arc length. - -

  • loodrecht
    • = een hoek van 90° vormend met een andere lijn of een vlak (Van Dale)
  • perpendicular transversal
A line that cuts across two or more (usually parallel) lines is a ‘transversal’. If it crosses the parallel lines at right angles it is called a ‘perpendicular transversal’
