Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle. They can be visualized as forming a right angle or "L" shape. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never intersect and always stay the same distance apart. They can be visualized as two train tracks that never meet. Intersecting lines are lines that cross or meet at a single point. They do not have to be perpendicular or parallel, and their intersection forms an angle other than 90 degrees.

How are perpendicular lines similar to intersecting lineshow are they different?
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.
Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
What do geometric lines mean?
They could be: parallel lines, perpendicular lines or intersecting lines
What is a line intersecting a pair of parallel lines?
perpendicular line
How do you label intersecting lines?
lines that intersect= perpendicular lineslines that do not intersect= parallel

Can two lines be parellel perpendicular and intersecting at the same time?
No. If the lines are parallel they will never meet or intersect at any point. If the lines are perpendicular they do intersect, but perpendicular lines are a special case of intersecting lines. Perpendicular lines are exactly 90 degrees from each other. Intersecting lines do not haveto be perpendicular... but perpendicular lines are always intersecting.
Are metal rails an example of parallel intersecting and perpendicular lines?
parallel

perpendicular line
How do you label intersecting lines?

Can the same two lines be perpendicularparalleland intersecting?
No, because although perpendicular and intersecting lines do touch, parallel lines never meet.
Can the same two lines be parallel perpendicular and intersecting at the same time?
No.
Are all Intersecting lines parallel?
Parallel lines cannot intersect in the Euclidean plane. Intersecting lines are not parallel.
Are perpendicular lines parallel to each other?
No, perpendicular means intersecting or forming right angles.
Are the metal rails that make up train an example of parallel line intersecting lines or perpendicular lines?
Railway lines are parallel
