Understanding Perpendicular Lines

The video tutorial explains the concept of perpendicular lines, which are two lines that intersect to form right angles. It demonstrates how to identify perpendicular lines on a grid and introduces the symbol used to denote perpendicularity. An example is provided using lines MN and OP to illustrate the concept.

What type of angle is formed when two lines are perpendicular?

• Acute angle

• Straight angle

• Obtuse angle

• Right angle
