You drawing your own lines now, are you? Come on don't be a sore loser. Perpendicular lines cross at right angles. That's why they're not used in running races.
Parallel lines always stay the same distance apart, so they will never cross, no matter how long they go on for. And that's why they're used in races. Ready and…they're off!
Aug 15, 2016 · Short distances make this easy---simply paint a perpendicular line across the track to denote the starting and finishing points. This works quite nicely for the 100 meter race.
Jun 9, 2014 · Question: "Explain why two lines are perpendicular iff $a_k \times a_l = -1$. Use a good, simple explanation that's easy to remember." A Simple Visual Explanation/Proof. The following animated gif, based on congruent triangles, is the easiest visual-explanation/proof I have ever seen:
In summary: the longitude lines are all "parallel" straight lines on the sphere (as in they are geodesics perpendicular to the same geodesic (the equator)). The latitude lines are not even lines and not parallel lines in any meaningful way.
When two lines are perpendicular, they meet at right angles. And that’s how we know the type of angle that’s highlighted in red is a right angle. Complete using “parallel” or “perpendicular”: The two red-colored lines are what.

Oct 10, 2023 · Perpendicular lines are two straight lines that meet or intersect at 90°. The opposite of perpendicular lines are parallel lines. Unlike perpendicular lines, parallel lines never intersect. The equation of a line that is perpendicular is y = mx + c.
