How do perpendicular differ from intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines are a subset of intersecting lines. The only difference is that perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of 90o, whereas intersecting lines can converge at any angle.
Can two lines be parellel perpendicular and intersecting at the same time?
No. If the lines are parallel they will never meet or intersect at any point. If the lines are perpendicular they do intersect, but perpendicular lines are a special case of intersecting lines. Perpendicular lines are exactly 90 degrees from each other. Intersecting lines do not haveto be perpendicular... but perpendicular lines are always intersecting.
Are intersecting lines that form right angle?
Intersecting lines that form a right angle are perpendicular lines.
What would happen if lines were not perpendicular?
If lines were not perpendicular,they would either be intersecting or parrallel.
What lines are intersecting lines that form square corners?
Perpendicular lines
What is the different of a perpendicular lines and intersecting lines?
The only difference between perpendicular lines and intersecting lines is that perpendicular lines create a right angle at the point of intersection.
What is the difference between a perpendicular lines and intersecting lines?
Intersecting cross each other whereas perpendicular lines cross at right angles.
How do perpendicular differ from intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines are a subset of intersecting lines. The only difference is that perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of 90o, whereas intersecting lines can converge at any angle.
What is the difference between perpindicular and intersecting lines?
Intersecting lines can cross at any angle. Perpendicular lines cross or meet at 90 degrees only.
Are intersecting lines perpendicular or not perpendicular?
Intersecting lines may or may not be perpendicular. If the angle of intersection between two intersecting lines is 90 degrees, then the two lines are perpendicular. Otherwise, the lines are not perpendicular. For example: A | | | B ----|----- | | Here, the lines A and B are intersecting. The angle between A and B is 90 degrees. Therefore, line A and line B are perpendicular to each other.
How are perpendicular lines and intersecting line?
Both lines intersect other lines, but the difference is a perpendicular line intersects another line at a 90 degree angle meanwhile the intersecting lines can meet at any angle
Can you draw a pair of intersecting lines that are perpendicular?
a pair of intersecting lines that are perpendicular
Two intersecting lines but not perpendicular?
Non-perpendicular intersecting lines. There is no special name.
Draw two intersecting lines but not perpendicular?
draw two intersecting lines that are not perpendicular
How are perpendicular lines and intersecting lines alike and how are they different?
Some intersecting lines are perpendicular lines.Take any old pair of intersecting lines. If the angles at the intersectionhappen to be 90 degree angles, then the lines are perpendicular lines.
Can a perpendicular line be a intersecting line?
Yes. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but they have right angles.
Can two lines be parellel perpendicular and intersecting at the same time?
No. If the lines are parallel they will never meet or intersect at any point. If the lines are perpendicular they do intersect, but perpendicular lines are a special case of intersecting lines.
