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.

Orthogonal lines are diagonal in linear perspective but parallel in the real world?
I think its true.....
Orthogonal lines are diagonal in linear perspective but parallel in the real world true or false?
What is an orthogonal line?
What would the world be like without parallel lines?
There wouldn't be train tracks, and you couldn't play tic-tac-toe.
What are some real world examples of perpindicula r lines?
-- Look around. You'll see a pair of them at every place on the floor of your room where two edges of the floor meet. -- At the same places, you'll also see a vertical line ... where two walls meet ... that's perpendicular to both edges of the floor that meet there. So, just in the room where you're sitting now, there are 12 pairs of perpendicular lines at the 4 corners of the floor. And another 12 pairs at the 4 corners of the ceiling. Is that real enough for you ?
What is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides?
A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezium (most of the world) or trapezoid (US) . If it was to have two pairs of parallel sides it would be a parallelogram.
Are theimaginary lines that run from the north pole to the south pole around the world parallel?
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.
How many parallel latitude lines are there on the world?
90
Real worl examples of parallel lines?
Did you mean "real world examples of parallel lines"? If so, railroad tracks are a perfect example.
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 parallel lines split the world?
"Parallels" or "Circles of Latitude".
Where are the global latitude lines?
Lines of Latitude run horizontally round the World and parallel to the Equator.
What are examples of perpindicular lines in the real world?
what is a perpindicular line?a street intersection.. u no?? like in traffic
What is the difference between parallel and latitude?
Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude.
Are orthogonal lines diagonal in linear perspective but parallel in the real world?
True
Orthogonal lines are diagonal in linear perspective but parallel in the real world?
I think its true.....
Why are parallel lines important in the world?
As an example without them trains wouldn't be able to operate.
What are examples of transversal lines in the real world?
Transversal lines cut through or touch parallel lines as for example support sleepers on a rail track or transversal supports on a gate
