Never.

If they are parallel then the original line and the two perpendiculars would be coplanar which, they are required not to be.

Real examples of perpendicular lines?

Some examples of perpendicular lines in nature are even ground and the stalks of plants, which often form a perfect right angle. Another example is a waterfall, with the falling water as one line and the body of water at the bottom as the other line, which again form a right angle.


Which is length and which is width?

This is a bit arbitrary, but the name "length" is often reserved for the longest measurement, and the "width" would be perpendicular to the length.This is a bit arbitrary, but the name "length" is often reserved for the longest measurement, and the "width" would be perpendicular to the length.This is a bit arbitrary, but the name "length" is often reserved for the longest measurement, and the "width" would be perpendicular to the length.This is a bit arbitrary, but the name "length" is often reserved for the longest measurement, and the "width" would be perpendicular to the length.


The meaning of vertical lines in an artwork as suggest by art professional and critics?

Vertical lines communicate a feeling of loftiness and spirituality. Erect lines seem to extend upwards beyond human reach, toward the sky. They often dominate public architecture, from cathedrals to corporate headquarters. Extended perpendicular lines suggest an overpowering grandeur, beyond ordinary human measure.-eNysH2gm_eNysH2rc


What is all truth is parallel?

Oh honey, sounds like you're trying to get deep on me! If all truth is parallel, then that means different truths can exist at the same time without intersecting. It's like saying two parallel lines never meet - they just do their own thing and keep it moving.

What are oblique lines in maths?

In mathematics, oblique lines refer to lines that are not horizontal or vertical, meaning they are slanted or inclined at an angle. These lines can have various slopes, which are determined by the angle they make with the horizontal axis. Oblique lines are often used in geometry and coordinate systems to represent relationships that are not perpendicular or parallel. The term can also apply in other contexts, such as in trigonometry, where angles and their properties are studied.


What lines that are parallel to the equator?

Every line of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to all other such lines. This might be part of the reason that such lines are often referred to as "parallels" of latitude. Or that might be just a coincidence.


Does an octagonal prism have perpendicular faces?

Prisms with any number of sides can have perpendicular faces. Often both end faces are perpendicular to the length. In the case of a REGULAR octagonal prism, there will be four pairs of parallel faces, where each face of a pair will be perpendicular to the two faces of one of the other pairs. There is not much that can be said with certainty about an irregular octagonal prism.


Why are latitude lines often called parallel lines?

All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, so they are sometimes also referred to as parallels. =) Because just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two of them are always the same distance apart and never cross each other.

Do lines of latitude run parallel with the equator?

Yes. That's a big part of the reason why the lines are often called "parallels".

What line run parallel to the equator?

Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below


Is the latitude lines all parallel to the equator?

Yes. All lines of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to each other. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.


Do Lines of Longitude run parallel to each other?

Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator while longitudinal lines (also called meridians) run north-south. The latitude angle ranges from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at either the north or south pole.
