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.
Which pair of lines is perpendicular?
Lines that intersect at 90 degrees are perpendicular lines
What is the different of a perpendicular lines and intersecting lines?
The only difference between perpendicular lines and intersecting lines is that perpendicular lines create a right angle at the point of intersection.
How many perpendicular lines are there in a trapezium?
A trapezium has no right angles therefore there are no perpendicular lines. If it had perpendicular lines, it would be a square or rectangle.
Define perpendicular lines and describe the type of angle formed by perpendicular lines or line segments?
The definition of perpendicular lines also defines the angles -- perpendicular lines are two lines (or line segments) that meet at a 90 degree angle.
Are latitude lines parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
In which direction does a parellel or line of latitude run?
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
North and south lines that intersect latitude lines on a map?
The lines that are perpendicular to the latitude lines on a map are called longitudinal lines. There are 24 of them, each representing 15 degrees of change.
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
Are the lines of latitude of parallel or perpendicular to each other?
They are parallel to each other.
When lines of longitide and latitude intersect they form?
A meridian of longitude and a parallel of latitude are perpendicular at their intersection, forming a right angle.
Give some real examples for perpendicular lines?
Longitude and latitude lines are perpendicular to each other. Most road intersections in major cities are set up in a grid, making the cross streets perpendicular.
What are lines of latitutde?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
