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.

What are examples of horizontal lines in the real world?

Examples of horizontal lines in the real world include the horizon where the sky meets the land or sea, the straight line of a calm lake's surface, the boundary between the wall and floor in a room, and the straight line of a ruler placed flat on a table. Horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon and perpendicular to vertical lines.


How many perpendicular sides does a hexagon have?

Hexagons come in many different shapes and sizes. As long as the figure has 6 straight edges and 6 angles, (with closed figure, of course) it's a hexagon. A regular hexagon though, has no perpendicular sides.A regular 6 sided hexagon has no perpendicular lines but it does have 3 pairs of parallel lines.

Oh honey, you're in for a treat! The letters "O" and "S" have no parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting line segments. They're just doing their own thing, floating around without a care in the world. Just like me at a buffet table!


Why isn't lines of longitude parallel?

Because The lines of Longitude cross over each other at the top of the world which makes them not parallel. Parallel: Lines that never cross or meet And always stay the same distance apart.

What is the difference between parallel and latitude?

Parallel refers to lines on a map or globe that are parallel to the equator, while latitude refers to the distance north or south of the equator measured in degrees. In other words, latitude measures the angle between a point and the equator, while parallels are the horizontal lines on maps that show the different latitudes.


Are theimaginary lines that run from the north pole to the south pole around the world parallel?

Yes, the imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole (longitude lines) are parallel to each other. These lines are equidistant from each other and converge only at the poles.
