Why do you need parallel lines and perpendicular lines in your lives?

Construction, engineering, drawing, and architecture all use parallel and perpendicular lines. Other than that, it is an important topic because you are learning how to apply the language and tools of mathematics to an intuitive system. These topics have proven important in the history of human kind and also many before you have shown that by learning about parallel and perpendicular lines, one learns how to use math and logic. It is doubtful that you can make a living off of parallel and perpendicular lines, but if you can't understand parallel and perpendicular lines, then I worry about your future.

Are lines with three dimensions which do not intersect are not parallel?
Non-intersecting lines in 3-D space may be parallel but need not be.
How many parallel lines does a dodecahedron have?
It need not have any.
What does a parallel line look like?
In order to describe parallel, you need 2 lines to be parallel to each other. The lines will lie in the same plane, and the right-angle distance between the 2 lines will be constant for the entire length of the lines. Since lines are infinite length in length, they will never intersect.
Why do we need to study parallel lines?
Ebcause you use it in architacture and construction and stuff
How many parallel and perpendicular lines does a dodecahedron have?
It need not have any.
Does a rght triangle need parallel and perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle so a right angled triangle has two lines which are perpendicular to eachother. However there are no parallel lines in a right angled triangle, or any triangles for that matter.

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).
Are all Intersecting lines parallel?
Parallel lines cannot intersect in the Euclidean plane. Intersecting lines are not parallel.
How do you graph parallel and perpendicular lines?
If you want to graph parallel lines, they need to have the same slope (Ex. 2x+2 and 2x+3)- parallel lines cannot have the same y-intercept because the two line would be the same. Perpendicular lines slopes need have to be opposite reciprocals (Ex. -2x+4 and +1/2x+3)- perpendicular lines can have the same y-intercepts, it doesn't make a difference.
I need a real life example of Parallel lines with a perpendicular transversal?
Railway lines with sleepers? Lines of latitude crossed by a line of longitude?
Could a pair of parallel sides be different lenghth?
Two lines are said to be parallel if perpendicular distance between them is always constant. Length of a pair of parallel lines need not to be same. It can be different.
50-word response to the following How can you determine if two lines are?
you need to finish the question.. if two line are what? perpendicular ? Parallel?
Does a octahedron have parallel lines?
It can, but it need not have parallel lines.
Does a trapezoid have perpendicular lines?
It can, but it need not.
Do perpendicular angles always need intersecting lines?
Yes. A t has a perpendicular line but in order to form a right angle you need to have the lines intersect.
