What are Perpendicular Lines?
- Perpendicular lines are two lines that meet to form a right angle, which is 90 degrees.
- When they cross, they make an "L" shape.
- It's like making a corner in a square or rectangle.
Examples:
- Street corners:
- When two streets cross each other at a corner, they form perpendicular lines.
- The corner where they meet looks like an "L".
- Floor tiles:
- When tiles are laid on the floor, the edges of each tile can be perpendicular to each other.
- This helps them fit together nicely and make a square shape.
- Books on a shelf:
- If you stand a book up on a shelf and the shelf is flat, the side of the book is perpendicular to the shelf.
- This keeps the book from falling over.
