Actually there are 4 angles formed by 2 intersecting lines, and as long as the lines are PERPENDICULAR, the angles are all right angles, 90 degree each.
Perpendicular lines are lines that cross at right angles. Intersecting lines can cross at any angle.
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.
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.
perpendicular lines are a special type of intersecting line that happen to intersect at 90 degree angles
