What is formed when two lines intersect?
Perpendicular lines are a possibility. This will only happen if the intersecting lines are exactly 90 degrees from each other.
How would you describe two lines that meet together at 90?
Orthogonal lines or perpendicular lines
Which shape has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines?
A rhombus has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines.
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.
Real life examples of perpendicular lines?
An example of a perpendicular line is a 4 way intersection at a stop sign. Another example would be a window that has 4 smaller squares in it.
