Function Allocation. Function allocation (also known as task allocation) is a classic human factors method for deciding whether a particular function will be accomplished by a person, technology (hardware or software) or some mix of person and technology.
perpendicular - a straight line at right angles to another line straight line - a line traced by a point traveling in a constant direction; a line of zero curvature; the shortest distance between two points is a straight line 2. perpendicular - a Gothic style in 14th and 15th century England; characterized by vertical lines and a four-centered (Tudor) arch and fan vaulting
Perpendicular means at right angles. A line meeting another at a right angle, or 90Â° is said to be perpendicular to it. In the figure above, the line AB is perpendicular to the line DF.If they met at some other angle we would say that AB meets DF 'obliquely'. Move the point A around and create both situations. line meeting another at a right angle, or 90Â° is said to be perpendicular to it. In the figure above, the line AB is perpendicular to the line DF.
