Can you construct three lines that are perpendicular to each other?

No, you cannot, if you are trying to do them on the same 2-D plane.
If the plane is 3-D, and you are talking about more than one plane,
then yes it is possible.
(A "3-D" plane ? ? ? Well, OK.)
If you get a chance, take a quick look at the corner of your room,
where two walls and the floor all come together.

What shapes have perpendicular lines?
Two-dimensional shapes made with perpendicular lines include (but are not limited to) right-triangles, rectangles, octagons, and dodecagons. Three-dimensional shapes made with perpendicular lines include (but are not limited to) cubes, octahedrons, cuboctahedrons, and icosahedrons.
What is a three sided shape with 1 pair of perpendicular lines?
A right angle triangle
How do you find a point equidistant from three other points?
To find a point equidistant from three other points, construct perpendicular bisectors for two of the segments formed from three points. Note: this will be the center of the circle that has all three points on it's circumference. Three points, not in a straight line, form three pairs of points with each pair defining a different line. Take any pair of points and draw the perpendicular bisector of the line joining them. Repeat for one of the other pairs. These two perpendicular bisectors will meet at the point which is equidistant from all three points - the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the three points.
What quadrilaterals Have diangles that are perpendicular to each other?
A square, a rhombus and a kite are three examples of quadrilaterals that have perpendicular diagonals that intersect each other at right angles.
Can a triangle have perpendicular sides?
A triangle can have one angle made up of perpendicular lines. That would be called a right triangle. A triangle cannot have more than one angle made up of perpendicular lines however. To see why, remember that an angle created by two perpendicular lines is 90 degrees and a triangle is made up of three angles that sum to 180 degrees. If two angles were 90 degrees the third angle would have to be 0 degrees, in which case the shape is no longer a triangle.
What are the three dimensional realms of space?
Three dimensions means that you can draw three lines, each perpendicular to every other line. It also means that you need three numbers to describe a position in space.Three dimensions means that you can draw three lines, each perpendicular to every other line.

Are skew lines perpendicular?
No, skew lines are not perpendicular. Perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of ninety degrees, while skew lines never intersect (think in three dimensions or higher).
What was the triangle made out of?
Three perpendicular 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.
What color has Two letters with 2 pairs of parallel lines Four letters have perpendicular lines Three letters have both parallel and perpendicular lines?
Yellow
In a plane if two lines are perpendicular to the same line then are they parallel to each other?
So long as all three lines are in the same plane, yes.
What shape has two perpendicular lines and three right angles?
its impossible; the two perpendicular lines already make four right angles.
You have two perpendicular lines with three angles what are you?
a right triangle
How would you know if lines a perpendicular or parallel?
perpendicular lines intersect each other at 90 degrees whereas parallel lines never intersect each other and remain equal distance apart from each other. Obviously the way to test if two lines are parallel is to measure their distance from each other at at least two points (the farther apart the better) to confirm that they remain equal distance apart, but to test if lines are perpendicular, with a compass with the point at the point where the two lines intersect, draw an arc (or three parts of an arc) that intersects one of the lines in two places and the other line in one place. If the distances between the lines at the points where they are intersected by the arc are equal, the lines are perpendicular.
What are the three types of geometric lines?
They are amongst many more:- Perpendicular lines Parallel lines Diagonal lines Transversal lines Symmetrical lines
How do you construct the triangle?
draw three lines like this /\ then one line on the bottom connecting the two lines
Does a tetrahedron have perpendicular faces?
No and Yes A regular tetrahedron does not have any faces that are perpendicular to each other. (Regular in this sense means all edges are equally long - all faces are equilateral triangles)You can construct a irregular tetrahedron with two or three perpencdicular faces. To make such a tetrahedron with three faces perpendicular, simply cut the corner of a cube.
