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.
What happen to a transversal intersect two parallel line?
A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines. If the corresponding angles are congruent then the two lines being intersected are parallel and vice verso.
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
is this statement true or falseIf a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.?
true
How can you prove that a constructed line is parallel to a given line Assume that the transversal line is not perpendicular to the other lines?
If the lines have the same slope but with different y intercepts then they are parallel
Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.

What are lines that are not parallel or perpendicular?
In two dimensions the lines would be intersecting lines not perpendicular (I believe this is called transversal, see related link). If you are in three dimensions they would be skew lines, like to jets crossing above you that don't hit each other. One is higher than the other.
Does a hexagon have perpendicular or parallel lines?
A hexagon has parallel lines.
When two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal and if corresponding angels are congruent then the two lines are?
Then the two lines cut through by transversal line are parallel to each other.
Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
How can you prove that a constructed line is parallel to a given line Assume that the transversal line is not perpendicular to the other lines.?
By using a protractor which will show that corresponding angles are equal and alternate angles are equal .
What happen to a transversal intersect two parallel line?
A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines. If the corresponding angles are congruent then the two lines being intersected are parallel and vice verso.
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.
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.
