They are two edges that make a 90 degree angle. However, the term is also loosely used for edges that make a 90 degree angle with the horizontal.
The shape that fits this description is a cylinder. A cylinder has curved surfaces and no flat faces with parallel or perpendicular edges, yet its circular bases are parallel to each other, and the edges around the circumference can be considered to be perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. Thus, while it lacks traditional faces with parallel or perpendicular edges, it still contains elements that exhibit these characteristics.
There is no such shape as a perpendicular prism.
Parallel edges are equidistance apart whereas perpendicular edges meet at right angle as in a square or a rectangle.
A hexagonal prism has 12 edges in total: 6 edges on the top hexagonal base, 6 edges on the bottom hexagonal base, and 6 vertical edges connecting the corresponding vertices of the two bases. The vertical edges are perpendicular to the hexagonal bases. Therefore, there are 6 perpendicular edges in a hexagonal prism.
Usually not, but it can.
Any shape with straight edges can have perpendicular edges.

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the geometry questions, huh? So, like, a shape that fits that description would be a triangular prism, because it has perpendicular edges but none that are parallel. It's like the rebel of the 3D shapes, just doing its own thing.

There are 12 edges in a cube.
the edges of a shape are basicly the sides of a shape
Each of the 12 edges of a cube is directly perpendicular to four others (two at each vertex for that edge).
