Perpendicular lines are lines that meet at a right angle (90 degrees). Think of the corner of a square or a rectangle. When two lines form that perfect corner, they're perpendicular! This worksheet will give you some practice in identifying and drawing perpendicular lines.
Match the terms with their definitions:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Right Angle | a. A tool used to draw straight lines. |
| 2. Perpendicular Lines | b. An angle that measures 90 degrees. |
| 3. Intersecting Lines | c. Lines that cross each other. |
| 4. Straightedge | d. Lines that meet at a right angle. |
| 5. Degree | e. A unit of measurement for angles. |
Perpendicular lines form a ________ angle. This angle measures ________ degrees. We can use a ________ or a ________ to help us draw perpendicular lines accurately. Lines that are not perpendicular are called ________ lines. It is important to be ________ when drawing perpendicular lines.
Why is it important to be able to draw perpendicular lines accurately in real-world situations? Give at least two examples.
