Best Answer

NO, because each intercecting line does not make a right angle-some could make acute or obtuse angles. To be perpendicular the lines that meet have to make a right angle(90 degree angle) or else they will not be perpendicular.

3 types of lines in geometry?

Yeah, parralell, perpendicular, and intersecting, are the only one I could find... There are also convergent and divergent lines (lines that are not parallel converge/diverge at different points).


Does a diamond have perpendicular lines?

The cut of a diamond may contain perpendicular lines. The mineral diamond may also have natural perpendicular lines in the lattice, and these are not visible in gem-stone quality diamonds.


Which letters in the alphabet contain parallel and perpendicular lines?

The letters in the alphabet that contain parallel lines are "H," "I," "K," "N," "X," and "Z." These letters have two or more straight lines that run alongside each other without intersecting. The letter "T" also contains perpendicular lines, as it has one vertical line intersected by a horizontal line at a right angle.


Lines that have one point in common?

Intersecting lines. If they have only one point in common, then they are also non-parallel.


What are the Major axis and minor axis of rectangle?

In a rectangle, the major axis is the longer of the two perpendicular lines that intersect at the center of the rectangle. It is also known as the length of the rectangle. The minor axis is the shorter of the two perpendicular lines, also intersecting at the center, and is referred to as the width of the rectangle. These axes are important in determining the dimensions and properties of a rectangle, such as its area and perimeter.

Are all intersecting lines also perpendicular lines and why?

No - perpendicular lines meet at right angles.


Is intersecting pair of lines also perpendicular?

No because perpendicular goes up and down


Do intersecting lines meet at two points?

Lines intersect if the meet at one point. Perpendicular lines also meet at one point, but their intersection is a right angle. Intersecting lines in the plane do not meet at two points.

Is a perpendicular line also intersecting line?

Yes. But it does not mean it is fully. It partly is not. It is if both lines are in the same plane. But if they are in different planes, then they won't intersect.


When are intersecting lines also parallel?

no. if they touch, then they cannot be parallel.


Meaning of the different kinds of lines?

They are: -skew lines -parallel lines -intersecting lines -straight lines -zigzag lines -dotted lines -solid lines -curved lines -perpendicular lines


Does Z have parallel lines?

Yes and it also has intersecting lines


How does the Cha Cha slide teach intersecting perpendicular and parallel lines?

Because you are constantly "sliding" to the right or to the left in straight lines. You will "cha cha" to different spots also so you'll be overlapping your past imaginary lines! good question!


Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?

Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.


Define perpendicular lines and describe the type of angle formed by perpendicular lines or line segments?

The definition of perpendicular lines also defines the angles -- perpendicular lines are two lines (or line segments) that meet at a 90 degree angle.


If two lines are perpendicular they are also parallel?

PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINESParallel lines can run side by side on forever but perpendicular lines make a 90 degree angle.
