We can not teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves - Galilieo Galilei

Greetings Everyone!

Tomorrow we will be talking about parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines.  To get you all thinking here are some facts about each.  Two lines, both in the same plane, that never intersect are called parallel lines.  Parallel lines remain the same distance apart at all times.  Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect and form right (90 degree) angles.  This symbol is used to represent perpendicular lines.  Intersecting lines are two or more lines that meet at a point. 

Can you identify which are Parallel, Perpendicular and Intersecting lines?











Here is an activity that you can practice before we get started.  Be prepared to discuss this further in math class tomorrow.



Have a wonderful night!

P.S. I will leave you with one last problem of the night.  What is this? And what is its degree? (Hint: Perpendicular lines). First person that gets the correct answer will win something tomorrow!
