What quadrilateral has two right angles one set of parallel lines and two sets of perpendicular lines?

If by two sets of perpendicular lines you mean two pairs of perpendicular lines we can do it. One set of parallel lines is easy so draw that as the first and second lines A right angle from one of them will intersect the other at a right angle so that's the third line and the right angles sorted. The fourth side cannot be parallel to the third so draw it at an angle to the third. We now have two right angles, one set of parallel lines and two pairs of perpendicular lines, first and third, and second and third. What we call it depends on where we are. In the UK it is called a trapezium and in the USA a trapezoid. I'm afraid I don't know naming conventions in other countries.


What do you call it when lines intersect?

intersecting lines


What do you call two lines that cross?

If the question means, "What do you call the point where two lines cross?" The answer would be "intersection". Otherwise, I would call them 2 intersecting lines.


What do you call a rectangle with 2 circles at each end?

I think you are referring to an Obround, which is a shape consisting of two semicircles connected by parallel lines tangent to their endpoints (or a rectangle with half a circle on each end)


What is a quadrilatetal with exactly one parallel side?

You can't have just one parallel side. It has to have something to be parallel to. If you are looking for a quadralateral figure with one pair of parallel sides, we call that a trapezoid.
