What are the three relationships for two straight lines in the same plane?
Well, there are really only two: parallel and intersecting. Parallel lines go in the same direction and never cross; intersecting lines do cross (or intersect). However, a third relationship, that's actually a special case of intersecting lines, is the case of perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines are those that make four right angles when they intersect. Really, it's enough if you know that only one of the angles is a right angle - the rest follow automatically.
What letters contain non perpendicular intersecting lines?
Upper-case (capital) A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, Z
What letters have perpendicular intersecting lines?
In the present font, B, D, E, F, H, I, L, P, R, and T have. At least in the upper case they do.
What are the differences between four conic sections?
A conic section is the intersection of a plane and a cone.The circle is a conic section where the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone. The special case of a point is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.The ellipse is a conic section where the plane is not perpendicular to the axis, but its angle is less than one of the nappes. The special case of a point is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.The parabola is a conic section where the plane is parallel to one of the nappes. The special case of two intersecting lines is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.The hyperbole is a conic section where the angle of the plane is greater than on of the nappes. There are two sides to the hyperbole. The special case of two lines intersecting is where the vertex of the cone lies on the plane.For more information, please see the Related Link below.
Are diagonals of a trapezoid perpendicular?
No, the only quadrilaterals that I can think of to have perpendicular diagonals are:KiteRhombusSquare (special case of a rhombus)
What is the difference between perpendicular and intersecting lines?
perpendicular crosses at a right angle, while intersecting lines don't
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.

Are intersecting and perpendicuular lines the same?
No. "Intersecting" just mean that they cross. "Perpendicular" means, specifically, that they cross at a right angle. Actually, in the case of segments, they don't even need to cross to be "perpendicular", but the lines that contain them would cross at right angles.
What letters contain non perpendicular intersecting lines?
Upper-case (capital) A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, Z
What letters have parallel lines but not intersecting or perpendicular?
In the upper case Roman alphabet, and depending on the font being used: A,B,D,G,K,P,Q,V,W,X and Y. In some case the sloped lines of K may be perpendicular.
What letters have intersecting lines but not perpendicular?
In upper case: A, B, G, K, M, N, Q, R, V, W, X, Y and Z.

Segments are perpendicular what kind of angles are form?
By definition, any lines/segments that are perpendicular to each other either do, or (in the case of non-intersecting segments) would, intersect each other at right angles. A right angle being a 90* angle. Therefore, perpendicular, intersecting line segments will form 4 90* angles.

What numbers are less than 10 that have intersecting lines?
The answer depends on how you write the numbers.In general, only 4 has intersecting lines. With all other numbers there are lines that touch but do not intersect.Handwritten 8 does have intersecting lines but it does not on in print. In the case of a handwritten 7, it depends on whether it is crossed (in the German fashion).The answer depends on how you write the numbers.In general, only 4 has intersecting lines.
