Yes, two perpendicular coplanar lines will touch. If you have two lines that, by definition, form a 90 degree angle (i.e., they are perpendicular) and are both on the same plane, eventually they must cross at some point on that plane. They will have exactly one point in common. If, however, the lines were, by definition, "perpendicular skew" lines, they would never cross because the definition forbids it.

∙ 7y agoYes, they inevitably will. This is because two lines that are perpendicular to each other are at a 90-degree angle to one another. Since the lines aren't segments, they go on forever, and since they aren't parallel, they will cross paths at some point along their length.

∙ 8y agoYes, if the are mutually perpendicular, they will cross - as do the coordinate axes.

Which angle will perpendicular lines on the same plane ever touch?
yes perpendicular lines are at right angles to each other. Therefore they have to touch eventually
Will a perpendicular line on the same plane ever touch?
No
Will Perpendicular lines ever touch?
Yes at 90 degrees.
Will perpendicular lines on theplane same ever touc?
Perpendicular lines intersect each other at 90 degrees but parallel lines never touch each other
Will perpendicular lines ever cross on the same plane?
If two lines are perpendicular, they intersect at a right angle. So yes, they will always cross each other.
Will perpendicular lines on the same ever touch?
no because Perpendicular is a 90 degree angle and 90 degrees have no slant or anything they will always be parallel
Will perpendular lines on the same plane ever touch?
Of course. Any lines in the same plane (if extended far enough) that are not parallel must intersect.
Will perpendicula lines ever touch?
Yes but parallel lines wont ever touch.
Will perpendicular lines ever meet on an airplane?
Yes.
What is perpendicular an d parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines intersect at a 90 degree angle. Parallel lines do not intersect, nor would they ever intersect if continued infinitely.
Do perpendicular lines ever meet at right angles?
Whether perpendicular lines meet at right angles depends on what they are perpendicular to. Perpendicular is a relational word; this is perpendicular to that.When a pair of lines are perpendicular to each other, they are properly called "mutually perpendicular". Many people (including mathematicians) say just "two perpendicular lines" when they really mean mutually perpendicular, if it is clear from the context that that is what is meant.However, there exists at least one teacher, at least one of whom is a mathematician, who will on at least one occasion attempt to catch out at least one of his students by leading that student to make an assumption the validity of which has not been rigorously proved.This often happens when a teacher is trying to show his pupils the art of rigor in mathematical proof. (The previous paragraph is to give you some idea of what a rigorous proof looks like.)Just to formally answer the question, mutually perpendicular lines on a plane always meet at right-angles - that's what perpendicular means.
Will perpendicular lines ever meet?
By definition, perpendicular lines are those which meet in a right angle. So, yes, they have to meet in order to be "perpendicular". Parallel lines may, or may not, meet, depending on how you choose your axioms. In Euclidean geometry, parallel lines never meet. In certain types of non-Euclidean geometry, they can meet.
