Parallel and Perpendicular linesGeometry- shapes and measurements.
Parallel- describes two lines in the same plane that never cross, or intersect.
- they are marked using arrows.

Perpendicular- describes lines that intersect at right angles. ( 90°)
- they are marked using a small square.


________________________________________________________________
measure the diference 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.
_________________________
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 metter where you measure, as long as you measure a perpedicular 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 60° angles.

*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?
