For most purposes in algebra and geometry, but especially geometry, parallel lines never meet. This should be the answer you give on nearly every question. However, speaking realistically, parallel lines can meet on planes of negative and positive curvature. An example of positive curvature would be a sphere; on a sphere, if you try to draw a triangle, the interior sum would be more than 180degrees and parallel lines would intersect. Similarly, on a plane of negative curvature like that of a surface of a saddle, the sum of the measures of the triangle would be less that 180 degrees and once again parallel lines will intersect.

What characteristics of perpendicular lines?
It has right angles that are 90% when it meets or crosses.
What Lines that are not in the same plane are called lines.?
Non-coplanar lines. They could be parallel or skew.For example, consider yourself facing a wall in a cuboid room. Line 1 = where the floor meets the wall in front of you, Line 2 = where the ceiling meets the wall in front of you, Line 3 = where the floor meets the wall behind you. Then Lines 1, 2 and 3 are parallel but not in the same plane.OrLine 4 = where the walls to the left and behind you meet. Lines 1 and 4 are not parallel nor in the same plane: they are skew.
Which quadrilateral must have perpendicular lines?
The quadrilaterals that have right angles must have a perpendicular line because that's where it meets.
Difference between secant lines and tangent lines?
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.
Where water meets the sky?
line where the water ends and the sky begins. Vanishing points, where two parallel lines appear to converge.

parrarel
What characteristics of perpendicular lines?

What meets to form 4 angles?
two lines that are not parallel but are in the same plane.

Perpendicular lines do not meet to form right angles?
A line is perpendicular if it meets at 90o.
Why are longitude lines not parallel?
Parallel lines never meet. On the other hand, every pair of longitudes meets at the Earth's North and South Poles.
Do lines of latitude ever meet?
They don't cross other latitude lines. They cross longitude lines.
What type of tissue lines the peritoneal cavity of the small intestine?
The visceral peritoneum, a serious membrane, lines the outside of the small intestine where it meets the peritoneal cavity.
Why does f represent the graph of a function?
Because each vertical lines meets its graph in a unique point.
What are the explanations of skew lines?
In plane geometry, two straight lines are either parallel (including coincident) or they meet at a point. In three dimensions, however, there is another option: the lines could be skew. These are lines that are not parallel but which do not intersect either. One way to visualise this is to place yourself in a cuboid room facing one wall. Consider the vertical line where the wall in front of you meets the wall to your left. And then consider the line where the floor meets the wall to your right. These two lines are not parallel but they will never meet. These are skew lines.
Which quadrilateral must have perpendicular lines?
The quadrilaterals that have right angles must have a perpendicular line because that's where it meets.
