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).

What is a polygon with 4 sides no right angles 2 parallel lines top and bottom and 2 lines on the sides that are perpendicular?
TRAPEZOID
Does an equilateral have parallel lines or perpendicular lines?
PERPENDICULAR
Does a rectangle have perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
perpendicular.
Can perpendicular lines be parallel lines?
It is impossible for parallel lines to be perpendicular. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, meaning that they cross each other. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended in either direction. So intersecting lines (which includes perpendicular lines) and parallel lines are exact opposites. Parallel lines will never meet or cross; they cannot be perpendicular.
What is parallel perpendicular lines look like?
As far as we know, two lines can be perpendicular, or they can be parallel, but they can't be both.
Which figure contains perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
Any polygon with four or more sides can have perpendicular and parallel lines.
What is a polygon that has 2 pairs of parallel lines but doesn't have any perpendicular lines?
rhomboid
Does perpendicular have parallel lines?
= parallel + perpendicular As such no, perpendicular lines do not naturally have parallel lines. However...connect the lines in the symbols below. ++ ++ And you'll have 4 perpendicular lines, and 4 parallel lines.
What is Perpendicular and Parallel?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.
Where are the parallel sides of a polygon?
The parallel sides of a polygon are sides that are segments of parallel lines. A polygon need not have any parallel lines. A triangle, for example, is a polygon that cannot have parallel lines.
Which shape has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines?
A rhombus has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines.
What is a polygon with 4 sides no right angles 2 parallel lines top and bottom and 2 lines on the sides that are perpendicular?
TRAPEZOID
What shapes have perpendicular lines and no parallel lines?
Right triangles have a set of perpendicular lines and no parallel lines.
CAN Perpendicular lines can be parallel?
No, perpendicular lines intersect eachother at 90 degree angles. Parallel lines never intersect. So perpendicular lines will never be parallel.
Does an equilateral have parallel lines or perpendicular lines?
PERPENDICULAR
Does a rectangle have perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
perpendicular.
Does a rhombus have perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
Perpendicular: No Parallel: Yes, two pairs.
