They are not. The perpendicular bisectors of a triangle, for example, intersect at the orthocentre of the triangle. So perpendicular lines can be intersecting and conversely.

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.
How are perpendicular lines similar to intersecting lineshow are they different?
The question is baffling. They're not different. Perpendicular lines must be intersecting lines.The only lines that are not intersecting lines are parallel lines. If two lines arenot parallel, then they must intersect, and they can be perpendicular or not.
How are perpendicular lines similar and different to intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines are specific kinds of intersecting lines. They both cross paths. Intersecting lines can cross paths in any way, but perpendicular lines have to cross at right angles.
Draw two intersecting lines but not perpendicular?
draw two intersecting lines that are not perpendicular
How are perpendicular lines different to intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines have to intersect to make a right angle Like this: + Intersecting lines don't have to intersect to make a right angle Like this: X

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.

How are perpendicular lines diffe rent to intersecting lines?
They're not different. Perpendicular lines are one kind of intersecting lines. Except that perpandicular lines always interset at 90 degrees.
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 How are they different?
They are alike because they both cross each other. They are different because perpendicular lines have to be a right angle while intersecting lines can be any kind of angle.
