Lesson Worksheet: Parallel, Perpendicular, and Intersecting Lines Mathematics • 4th Grade
In this worksheet, we will practice classifying pairs of lines, rays, or line segments as parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting and using the correct notation to denote the relationship between lines.
Q1:
Which of the following correctly defines perpendicular lines?
- ATwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they meet at a reflex angle.

- DTwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they meet at an obtuse angle.
- ETwo lines are said to be perpendicular if they meet at right angles.
