Parallel and Pendicular lines

Parallel and Perpendicular lines

Geometry- Shapes and measurements.

Parallel- Describes two lines in the same plane that never cross, or intersect.
- They are marked using arrows.


Here is a picture of parallel lines:


Perpendicular- Describes lines that intersect at right angles. ( 90°)
- They are marked using a small square
Here's a picture of a right angle


Measure the difference from:

A to B
B to C
E to F
F to G
I to J
J to K

They all are 8.9 cm.

Here's a video about Perpendicular lines


Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc3dPkoCOHc

Identify any parallel lines you can find.
AE // BF, EI // FJ, CG // BF, GK // JF, AI // CK


What d0 you notice about parallel lines? they always are the same distance apart no matter where you measure, as long as you measure a perpendicular line.


Identify any perpendicular line segments.


AE __ DF , FE __ AI , BF __ EG , CG __ FH

What do you notice about perpendicular line segments? they all meet at 90° angles.


FOR HOMEWORK!
#1. Are line segments AC and DF parallel?
#2. Are line segments DF and BE perpendicular?
#3. Are line segments AC and BE perpendicular? How do you know?
#4. Would a line segment joining A to D be parallel to a line segment BE? How do you know?

  1. Good job raelynn, it is easy to understand if someone never knew what parallel and perpendicular was. Great job finding all those pictures and using color to show important words. Next time I think you should capitalize the beginnig of a sentence. Other than that great work!

  10. Nice job Raelynn! I realy like how you added lots of pictures and your font size was just right. You had a few spelling mistakes but overall it was good. You could teach people alot about parralel and perpindicular lines with this scribe.
