No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle.

In theory, parallel lines never meet.

In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole.

Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.

How many parallel lines does a right angle have?

A right angle has no parallel lines, but it does have perpendicular lines that meet at right angles.


Do parallel lines meet at a 30 dregrese angle?

Lines that meet are not parallel, and parallel lines never meet.


How many parallel and perpendicular lines are they in a right angle triangle?

There are no parallel lines in any triangle but a right angle triangle has perpendicular line that meet each other at 90 degrees.


What is the angle formed between two parallel lines?

An angle is formed where two lines meet. Parallel lines do not meet. Therefore they do not form an angle. So there is no angle to have a name. So no name.


Does a right triange have parallel lines?

No. A triangle can never have parallel lines. Parallel lines run alongside each other, so that if they continued forever, they would never meet, such as the top and bottom of a square. All lines meet in a triangle. A right triangle is distinguished by having one 90 degree angle (also known as a right angle).


How many parallel line segments does a right angle have?

Normally none but it does have perpendicular lines that meet at right angles.


Does a triangle have parallel and perpendicular sides?

A triangle has no parallel sides but in the form of a right angle triangle it has perpendicular lines that meet at right angles which is 90 degrees.


Does a rght triangle need parallel and perpendicular lines?

Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle so a right angled triangle has two lines which are perpendicular to eachother. However there are no parallel lines in a right angled triangle, or any triangles for that matter.


Will perpendicular lines ever meet?

By definition, perpendicular lines are those which meet in a right angle. So, yes, they have to meet in order to be "perpendicular". Parallel lines may, or may not, meet, depending on how you choose your axioms. In Euclidean geometry, parallel lines never meet. In certain types of non-Euclidean geometry, they can meet.


What are two lines that meet at a right angle?

Two lines that meet at a right angle are called perpendicular.Two lines that meet at a right angle are also called normal.Two lines that meet at a right angle are also called orthogonal.


How many angles does parallel have?

Parallel lines do not meet and so cannot form an angle.


What is formed by two real number lines that intersect at a right angle?

A perpendicular line is formed when two lines meet at a right angle. Opposite angles in a perpendicular line are parallel to each other.
