Yes - in common usage they are but they need not be.
If you are sitting in a cuboid room, facing a wall, then consider the line formed by the floor and the opposite wall, and the line formed by the walls behind you and one of the adjacent walls. These two lines are at right angles to one another but, because they are in different planes, they will not intersect.
Not necessarily. Lines can intersect at any angle. They are only perpendicular when they intersect at 90 degree angles.
draw two intersecting lines that are not perpendicular
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.
Yes. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but they have right angles.
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.
