Just one example: If you want to build something like a cabinet, you would want the sides to be perpendicular to each other, and to the top and bottom. Otherwise the door may not open and close correctly.

What symbol do you use to show that two lines are perpendicular?
You would use this: ┴
How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
How can you use a right angle to classify another angle?
When lines met or cross at a right angle are perpendicular lines.
Real life example of intersecting lines?
web can use it for making building construction machine.
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.
How do you use the word perpendicular lines in a sentence?
Perpendicular lines may form a "tee" or a "cross"
How do you use the word perpendicular in a sentnce?
The hexagon haded 6 perpendicular lines.
How do you use slope to determine a potato?
If two lines are perpendicular to eachother, they have right angles. The format for perpendicular lines is: x is perpendicular to -1/x. This is called the opposite reciprocal.
What symbol do you use to show that two lines are perpendicular?
You would use this: ┴
When would you use parallel lines in real life?
As a passenger on a train or when climbing a ladder.
Why do you need parallel lines and perpendicular lines in your lives?
Construction, engineering, drawing, and architecture all use parallel and perpendicular lines. Other than that, it is an important topic because you are learning how to apply the language and tools of mathematics to an intuitive system. These topics have proven important in the history of human kind and also many before you have shown that by learning about parallel and perpendicular lines, one learns how to use math and logic. It is doubtful that you can make a living off of parallel and perpendicular lines, but if you can't understand parallel and perpendicular lines, then I worry about your future.

How can you use a right angle to classify another angle?
When lines met or cross at a right angle are perpendicular lines.
Where are perpendicular bisectors used in real life?
it is just another pointless geometry term that you would only use if you are going to be a math teacher

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.
What kind of line makes use of rounded angles?
Right angles are formed by perpendicular lines. If the lines would extend, to make two intersecting lines.
