perpendicular lines are similar to intersecting lines because that's what they are. Intersecting lines are two lines that cross each other. Perpendicular lines are the same, two lines crossing each other, just with a more specific rule to have right angles.

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
Draw two intersecting lines but not perpendicular?
draw two intersecting lines that are not perpendicular
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.
What is the difference of a intersecting line and a perpendicular line for second grade?
intersecting lines are going on top of each other like this: + perpendicular lines go like this: X parallel lines go like this: =
Can a perpendicular line be a intersecting line?
Yes. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but they have right angles.
Can you draw a pair of intersecting lines that are perpendicular?
a pair of intersecting lines that are perpendicular

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 do perpendicular differ from intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines are a subset of intersecting lines. The only difference is that perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of 90o, whereas intersecting lines can converge at any angle.

Can a perpendicular line be a intersecting line?
Yes. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but they have right angles.
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.
Are intersecting lines that form right angle?
Intersecting lines that form a right angle are perpendicular lines.
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.
What is similar about perpendicular lines and intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines intersect.
