Parallel and Perpendicular Lines in Two-Dimensional Shapes

Practice identifying parallel and perpendicular lines in the context of 2D shapes with this fourth-grade geometry worksheet! Every shape is made up of line segments, but how do those line segments relate to one another? Students will examine nine different two-dimensional shapes such as triangles, rectangles, and hexagons. They will then identify whether the highlighted line segments in each shape are parallel or perpendicular and circle the correct answer below.

This activity will help learners to build fundamental geometry skills and reinforce knowledge of the difference between parallel and perpendicular lines. Mastering these concepts will prepare growing mathematicians for more complex problems in the future.
