常见错误：
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".

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.
含义
extremely steep or upright

近义词
vertical (Most direct synonym; more basic and slightly more common in everyday speech.)

反义词
horizontal (Describes something flat and level with the ground, the opposite of vertical or steep.)

常见错误：
Learners sometimes use "a perpendicular line" where native speakers in math contexts may simply say "a perpendicular". Also, some confuse the direction (the perpendicular) with the angle itself; the perpendicular is the line or direction, not the angle.
