Does the triangle has parallel side and perpendicular side?

No triangle can have parallel sides but a right angle triangle has perpendicular sides that meet at 90 degrees


Does a rght triangle need parallel and perpendicular lines?

Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle so a right angled triangle has two lines which are perpendicular to eachother. However there are no parallel lines in a right angled triangle, or any triangles for that matter.


What shape has perpendicular sides but no parallel lines?

A right angle triangle.


What shape has no parallel lines and no perpendicular lines?

A regular pentagon does not have parallel or perpendicular lines. Some other possibilities include, but are not limited to:a circlean ovalan equilateral triangle or any triangle that is not a right triangle.(A right angle's lines are perpendicular. Those are what make it a 90 degree angle.)


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).
