Not necessarily. Consider two lines that intersect at some angle other than 90 degrees. Then the angle of intersection is not 90 degrees means they are not perpendicular. But, because they intersect, neither are they parallel.

Can parallel lines also be perpindicular?

No. Parallel lines do not intersect; perpendicular lines intersect at 90 degrees


What are the different of lines?

My guess as to what you are asking is what are the two different kinds of lines? If so, the two kinds of lines are parallel and perpindicular. Parallel is two lines that have the same slope, or in other words, could go on forever and not touch. An equals sign (=) is an example of this. If you drew lines on the two lines of the equals sign, and they were straight, they would, in theory, never touch. Perpindicular lines, however, is the opposite. It is two lines that form 90 degree angles or right angles. An example of this is a plus sign (+). The two lines that form the plus sign are perpindicular lines.

What are perpandiculer lines?

First of all, it is spelled perpindicular, not perpandiculer. Secondly, perpindicular lines are two lies that cross forming right angles, or 90 degree angles. For example, the two lines forming a plus sign are perpindicular.


How Are tangents to a circle equal at opposite ends of a diameter?

Tangents ..... are parallel under conditions you gave. A tangent to a circle is perpindicular to the radius (diameter) at the point of contact. 2 lines perpindicular to the same line are parallel.


What perpendicullar lines?

If you are asking what are perpindicular lines, they are two lines that cross to form right angles, or 90 degree angles. An example of this is a plus sign (+). The two lines forming the plus sign are perpindicular to each other.


When are two lines nonintersecting?

When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.


When can you say that the two lines are perpindicular?

When they meet each other at 90 degrees.


Is y equals 5x plus 3 parallel or perpindicular?

Neither: because one line, by itself, can be neither parallel or perpendicular. These characteristics are relevant only in the context of another line (or lines). The given line is parallel to some lines and perpendicular to others.


Do parallelograms have perpendicular lines?

no they don't have perpindicular lines


If two lines are parallel to a third line then the two lines are parallel?

They are parallel to each other.


What is Perpendicular and Parallel?

Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.


Do perpindicular lines intersect?

In two dimensional space they must. In three (or more) dimensions they need not.
