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).
How do you draw a polygon with one parallel line and one right angel?
One line by itself can't be parallel technically. To have a polygon with 2 lines parallel to each other and exactly 1 right angle, one could simply draw a warped hexagon with two lines intersecting each other at nine degrees, then connecting to 2 lines parallel to each other, then 2 other lines randomly placed to avoid making another 90° angle
How many parallel lines does a right angle have?
A right angle has no parallel lines, but it does have perpendicular lines that meet at right angles.
Do parallel lines meet at a right angle?
No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
Can parallel lines form an angle?
no, its in the definition of parallel lines. they never touch and therefore can never form an angle.
