Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often confuse "perpendicular" with "parallel". Remember: perpendicular lines cross and make a square corner (90-degree angle), while parallel lines never meet. Another mistake is using the wrong preposition; the correct phrase is "perpendicular to", not "perpendicular on" or "perpendicular with".

Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes think "perpendicular" always means "90 degrees in math" and do not realize it can also describe very steep or vertical natural features. In this sense, it is close to "vertical" and does not require exact measurement.
Nghĩa
extremely steep or upright

Từ đồng nghĩa
vertical (Most direct synonym; more basic and slightly more common in everyday speech.)

upright (Emphasizes standing straight; often used for people or objects rather than cliffs.)
Từ trái nghĩa
horizontal (Describes something flat and level with the ground, the opposite of vertical or steep.)
