No, they can't.

Perpendicular and parallel are antonyms.

Are lines that never intersect parallel or perpendicular?

parallel ============================================= Parallel. _____________________ _____________________ Those two lines will NEVER intersect.


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


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.


Is a line which intersects two parallel lines?

No they are perpendicular if the intersect at a right angle. + is perpendicular, = is parallel


Are lines e and g perpendicular or parallel?

If two lines (which extend infinitely in each direction) lie on the same plane but never intersect, then the lines are parallel. If the lines somewhere intersect, they are not. And if they intersect at right angles, they are orthogonal, or perpendicular.


How can you determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular?

If the two lines are parallel, they will never connect. A straight line drawn across those lines will intersect them at identical angles. If you have perpendicular lines, they intersect and all four angles that they make are 90 degrees.


Are right angles the same as parallel?

No, right angles are the same as perpendicular. A right angle means that 2 lines intersect at 90 degrees which makes them perpendicular. Two lines that are parallel do not intersect at all.


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.


How are perpendicular lines similar to intersecting lineshow are they different?

The question is baffling. They're not different. Perpendicular lines must be intersecting lines.The only lines that are not intersecting lines are parallel lines. If two lines arenot parallel, then they must intersect, and they can be perpendicular or not.


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.


Do two perpendicular lines intersect?

yes... In fact, any two lines on the same plane that are not parallel will share a point of intersection.


Are two lines that are not parallel coplanar and do not intersect?
