Straight lines represent the shortest path between two points in Euclidean geometry, maintaining a constant direction without deviation. In contrast, curves allow for flexibility and can change direction smoothly, which affects how distance is measured and perceived.
In mathematics—namely geometry—and in real life, geometric shapes are two or three-dimensional figures that can be recognized and categorized based on a specific outline/boundary and other attributes including curves, lines, and angles.
Aug 12, 2022 · In geometry, all lines are assumed to be straight; if they bend they are called a curve. A line continues infinitely in two directions. Below is line AB or, in geometric notation, \(\overleftrightarrow{AB}\).

It just means at right angles (90°) to. The red line is perpendicular to the blue line: Here also: (The little box drawn in the corner, means "at right angles", so we didn't really need to alsoshow that it was 90°, but we just wanted to!) Try for yourself:
Lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart (called "equidistant"), and will never meet. (They also point in the same direction). Just remember:
Question: What is the difference between perpendicular and parallel? Answer:90 degrees (a right angle) That's right, when we rotate a perpendicular line by 90° it becomes parallel (but not if it touches!) Likewise, parallel lines become perpendicular when one line is rotated 90°.
Curves can also be parallel when they keep the same distance apart (called "equidistant"), like railroad tracks. The red curve is parallel to the blue curve in both these cases:
Most of the three-dimensional shapes can be defined as a set of vertices, lines that connect the vertices and faces enclosed by these lines including obtained interior points. For many three dimensional shapes, faces are two-dimensional. Also, some shapes in three dimensions have curves surfaces.
A line is defined as a row of closely spaced dots that extends infinitely in two directions. It has only one dimension, that is its length. A horizontal mark drawn on a piece of paper can be considered as an example of a line. An angle is defined as a figure created by two rays that meet at a common endpoint.

Shapes can be classified into open and closed shapes. In geometry , an open shape can be defined as a shape or figure whose line segments and/or curves do not meet.
