Lines are everywhere!
Without parallel and perpendicular lines, we wouldn't have the shapes that make up everyday life.
But what exactly is the difference between perpendicular and parallel lines?
👉 Time to find out!
Parallel Lines
These are lines that never touch and are equidistant from each other.
They can be straight or curved.
Straight parallel lines
Curved parallel lines
⭐ Spot the parallel lines
Look at these real life examples:
Zebra crossing
Pencils

Which picture is an example of parallel lines?
Perpendicular Lines
These are lines that cross over with each other at right angles.
The two lines intersect each other at a right angle (or 90°).
⭐ Spot the perpendicular lines
Look at these objects:
A cross
Triangular window
