Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). Think of the corner of a square or the intersection of a perfectly straight road. When two lines meet and form that perfect 'L' shape, they are perpendicular. Knowing how to identify them is essential for geometry and understanding shapes!
In this worksheet, we'll explore how to define, identify, and understand perpendicular lines. Get ready to sharpen those observation skills! 📐
