An instrument designed to determine the geometric relationship between two lines. Specifically, it assesses whether the lines are intersecting at a right angle (perpendicular), running in the same direction and maintaining a constant distance apart (parallel), or exhibiting neither of these properties.
Such a tool provides a means to quickly and accurately analyze spatial configurations, offering benefits in fields like geometry, architecture, engineering, and construction. Historically, geometric relationships were assessed through manual drafting and protractors, a process that was prone to error and time-consuming. The advent of computerized aids has significantly improved precision and efficiency in this analysis.
