Understanding Parallel, Intersecting, and Perpendicular Lines

This video tutorial covers the basics of lines in geometry, focusing on parallel, intersecting, and perpendicular lines. It explains the characteristics of each type of line, provides examples, and discusses common misconceptions. The tutorial also includes practical examples, such as roads and maps, to illustrate these concepts in real-world contexts.

What is a right angle?

• An angle that is less than 90 degrees

• An angle that is exactly 90 degrees
