Question 846890
A scissor is more of a rotating segment, with one endpoint fixed.  ScissorS would be like two rotating segments sharing an endpoint; and the rotation of each scissor is opposite of the other.




MORE THOUGHT DONE----------------------------
Perpendicular or intersecting depends on the amount of rotation at the joint.  If closed, unrotated, then parallel: Not intersecting and not perpendicular  (this MUST be relative the the OTHER SCISSOR, since SCISSORS come as a matched pair).   If rotated a little bit, forming acute angle, then the scissors (PLURAL) intersect but are not perpendicular.  If rotated enough to form a right angle at the intersection joint, then this could be considered perpendicular.
