Can perpendicular lines be parallel lines?
It is impossible for parallel lines to be perpendicular. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, meaning that they cross each other. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended in either direction. So intersecting lines (which includes perpendicular lines) and parallel lines are exact opposites. Parallel lines will never meet or cross; they cannot be perpendicular.
Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
Do perpendicular lines sometimes parallel?
Perpendicular lines intesect each other at 90 degrees and are not normally parallel to each other unless as in a square or rectangle.
If two parallel lines are perpendicular to the same line do the lines intersect?
the parallel lines never intersect each other but they both intersect the line they are perpendicular to
If two lines are perpendicular to the same line then the two lines are parallel?
They are parallel to each other.
Are all Intersecting lines parallel?
Parallel lines cannot intersect in the Euclidean plane. Intersecting lines are not parallel.
Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.
Do perpendicular lines always sometimes or never intersect?
Perpendicular lines always intersect and make 90 degree angles. Parallel lines never intersect with each other.

Can two lines be parellel perpendicular and intersecting at the same time?
No. If the lines are parallel they will never meet or intersect at any point. If the lines are perpendicular they do intersect, but perpendicular lines are a special case of intersecting lines. Perpendicular lines are exactly 90 degrees from each other. Intersecting lines do not haveto be perpendicular... but perpendicular lines are always intersecting.
Does a hexagon have perpendicular or parallel lines?
A hexagon has parallel lines.
Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?
since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.

If two parallel lines are perpendicular to the same line do the lines intersect?
the parallel lines never intersect each other but they both intersect the line they are perpendicular to
If two lines are perpendicular to the same line then the two lines are parallel?
They are parallel to each other.
Is two lines connected by their perpendicular is parallel?
Parallel lines run in the same direction. If they are intersected by one line and that line is perpendicular to both, then it proves that the lines run parallel to each other.
