What can not form a perpendicular bisector?
A circle cannot form a perpendicular bisector.
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.
Why two lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular?
Since two parallel lines never intersect, they cannot be perpendicular to each other because perpendicular lines intersect and form angles of 90⁰.
What are perpendicular and parallel lines on a polygon?
A polygon need not have ANY perpendicular or parallel lines. For example, consider an equilateral triangle. It can happen that two sides of a polygon, extended if necessary, meet at a point where they form a 90 degree angle. Those two lines are perpendicular. There may be pairs of lines such that, no matter how far you extend them in either direction, they will never meet. Such lines are parallel. A triangle cannot have parallel lines but it can have perpendicular lines. Any polygon of 4 or more sides can have sides that are perpendicular or parallel (or some of each).
Which do you use when parallel lines form similar triangles?
Triangles do not have parallel lines but as right angles triangles they do have perpendicular lines that meet at 90 degrees.
Which of these can not form a perpendicular bisector?
Perpendicular bisector lines intersect at right angles
What can not form a perpendicular bisector?
A circle cannot form a perpendicular bisector.
What shape can not form a perpendicular bisector?
A circle cannot form a perpendicular bisector.
Are lines that form an X are called parallel?
No, parallel lines are the ones that never cross each other. Perpendicular lines form an x.
How many parallel and perpendicular lines are in a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel lines and in the form of a rectangle it has 2 pairs of parallel lines and 4 perpendicular lines that meet at each of its corners at right angles.

What lines are lines that form acute or obtuse angles at the point of intersectionn?
Lines that are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Does a triangle have parallel and perpendicular sides?
A triangle has no parallel sides but in the form of a right angle triangle it has perpendicular lines that meet at right angles which is 90 degrees.
What is perpendicular line?
A sole line can't be perpendicular. To be perpendicular, a line has to meet with another line, to form right angles on either side. Perpendicular is the exact opposite of parallel. Parallel: = Perpendicular: -|
