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.
What is opposite parallel lines?
the opposite of parallel lines are Perpendicular. A perpendicular angle or line is where there is a 90 degree on each and every side.
How do you relate parallel and perpendicular lines to the real world?
If you are sitting in a room, the ceiling and the floor are parallel to each other. The walls are perpendicular to the floor and to the ceiling. So any line on these surfaces will be parallel to or perpendicular to any line on the other surface. And if they were not, the building could be quite unstable.
Is a square parallel or perpendicular?
In a square adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other and opposite sides are parallel to each other.
Are lines e and g perpendicular or parallel?
If two lines (which extend infinitely in each direction) lie on the same plane but never intersect, then the lines are parallel. If the lines somewhere intersect, they are not. And if they intersect at right angles, they are orthogonal, or perpendicular.
Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.
Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
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.
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.
Does a hexagon have perpendicular or parallel lines?
A hexagon has parallel lines.
If two lines are perpendicular to the same line then the two lines are parallel?
They are parallel to each other.
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
What is true about perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines meet(Intersect) at 90 degrees.
Will perpendicular lines on theplane same ever touc?
Perpendicular lines intersect each other at 90 degrees but parallel lines never touch each other
Is perpendicular and parallel the same?
No, perpendicular lines are lines which intersect (cross each other/meet) and a 90 degree angle, while parallel lines a lines which run along side each other and will never intersect/meet.
What shape has parallel lines and perpendicular lines?
A square and a rectangle have perpendicular and parallel lines. The two side lines extending upwards from the base line are perpendicular to the base line. The line extending from each of the side lines across the top is perpendicular to the side lines. The top line is also parallel to the base line, and the side lines are also parallel to each other.
Is two lines connected by their perpendicular is parallel?
Parallel lines run in the same direction. If they are intersected by one line and that line is perpendicular to both, then it proves that the lines run parallel to each other.
