What are non-perpendicular intersecting lines?

Lines that meet at any angle other than 90 degrees.


What do you call 2 lines that cross?

If they measure 90 degrees then they are perpendicular. Other than that they are just intersecting lines


What is perpendicular lines what is parallel lines what is intersecting lines?

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle. They can be visualized as forming a right angle or "L" shape. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never intersect and always stay the same distance apart. They can be visualized as two train tracks that never meet. Intersecting lines are lines that cross or meet at a single point. They do not have to be perpendicular or parallel, and their intersection forms an angle other than 90 degrees.


What are lines that are not parallel or perpendicular?

In two dimensions the lines would be intersecting lines not perpendicular (I believe this is called transversal, see related link). If you are in three dimensions they would be skew lines, like to jets crossing above you that don't hit each other. One is higher than the other.


Are the rules of parallel and perpendicular lines different in spherical geometry than in Euclidean geometry?

yes


Can you arrange lines in a plane so there both parallel and intersecting?

no. its impossible. Parallel mean lines that never touch. unless you have more than two lines. than you can make two parallel and or more intersecting them both.


What is difference in sides between a rectangle and a parallelogram?

The intersecting lines of a rectangle are at ninety degrees while the intersecting lines that form a parallelogram may be greater than or less than ninety degrees.


Which kind of shape has perpendicular lines?

Any polygonal shape, other than a triangle can have perpendicular lines.


What a perpendicular lines?

Perpendicular lines are lines that cross each other at 90 degree angles.For example, the letter T.The lines in the letter V are not perpendicular because the angle between them is less than 90 degrees.


What are four pairs of perpendicular lines?

They are simply four pairs of perpendicular lines. There is nothing in the question to suggest there is anything more than that to them.


What number is less than 10 and has perpendicular lines?

If you form the digits with a seven-segment LED display, then all of the digits except '1' have perpendicular lines.


What numbers are less than 10 that have intersecting lines?

The answer depends on how you write the numbers.In general, only 4 has intersecting lines. With all other numbers there are lines that touch but do not intersect.Handwritten 8 does have intersecting lines but it does not on in print. In the case of a handwritten 7, it depends on whether it is crossed (in the German fashion).The answer depends on how you write the numbers.In general, only 4 has intersecting lines.
