What are perpendicular and parallel lines on a polygon?
A polygon need not have ANY perpendicular or parallel lines. For example, consider an equilateral triangle. It can happen that two sides of a polygon, extended if necessary, meet at a point where they form a 90 degree angle. Those two lines are perpendicular. There may be pairs of lines such that, no matter how far you extend them in either direction, they will never meet. Such lines are parallel. A triangle cannot have parallel lines but it can have perpendicular lines. Any polygon of 4 or more sides can have sides that are perpendicular or parallel (or some of each).
How many parallel and perpendicular lines does a dodecahedron have?
It need not have any.
How do you graph parallel and perpendicular lines?
If you want to graph parallel lines, they need to have the same slope (Ex. 2x+2 and 2x+3)- parallel lines cannot have the same y-intercept because the two line would be the same. Perpendicular lines slopes need have to be opposite reciprocals (Ex. -2x+4 and +1/2x+3)- perpendicular lines can have the same y-intercepts, it doesn't make a difference.
Does an equilateral have parallel or perpendicula?
We'd need to know the number of sides. An equilateral triangle won't have any parallel or perpendicular sides. An equilateral quadrilateral will have two pairs of parallel sides which may or may not be perpendicular.

Are all Intersecting lines parallel?
Parallel lines cannot intersect in the Euclidean plane. Intersecting lines are not parallel.
Where are the parallel sides of a polygon?
The parallel sides of a polygon are sides that are segments of parallel lines. A polygon need not have any parallel lines. A triangle, for example, is a polygon that cannot have parallel lines.
Why do you need parallel lines and perpendicular lines in your lives?
Construction, engineering, drawing, and architecture all use parallel and perpendicular lines. Other than that, it is an important topic because you are learning how to apply the language and tools of mathematics to an intuitive system. These topics have proven important in the history of human kind and also many before you have shown that by learning about parallel and perpendicular lines, one learns how to use math and logic. It is doubtful that you can make a living off of parallel and perpendicular lines, but if you can't understand parallel and perpendicular lines, then I worry about your future.

Could a pair of parallel sides be different lenghth?
Two lines are said to be parallel if perpendicular distance between them is always constant. Length of a pair of parallel lines need not to be same. It can be different.
50-word response to the following How can you determine if two lines are?
you need to finish the question.. if two line are what? perpendicular ? Parallel?
What is triangle with two perpendicular sides?
A right triangle had 2 perp.sides. Perp. lines meet to form right angles. i need the answer in a four letter word. :)
