Not necessarily. They could be skew lines, and satisfy these conditions.

If two lines are perpendicular to the same plane then are they parallel to each other?
Yes. [in 3-d].
What are lines that never intersect?
Lines that never intersect are either parallel or skew to each other. If they're both in the same plane (or on the same piece of paper), then they're parallel.
Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.
What do parallel lines that are coplanar do not do?
They do not cross. Lines that are parallel go in the same direction, but some distance apart. Coplanar means they are in the same horizontal plane. Therefore the two lines can never cross each other.
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.
Two lines parallel to the same plane are parallel to each other?
they are transversals to each others
In a plane if two lines are perpendicular to the same line then they are parallel to each other?
Yes they are. It's a postulate: In a plane two lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel.
What are the characteristics of parallel lines?
Parallel lines lying in a plane do not intersect each other. They share exactly zero points in common.
Can a pair of lines be both parallel and skew?
No. Parallel has a specific meaning. For lines to be parallel, they have to lie in a common plane, but not touch each other. If they are skew, they still don't touch each other, but they now do not lie in a common plane. More specifically, skew lines, by definition, are not co-planar.
In a plane if two lines are perpendicular to the same line then are they parallel to each other?
So long as all three lines are in the same plane, yes.
How many lines can be parallel to each other in a plane?
any amount! It doesn't have to be just 2.
If two lines are perpendicular to the same plane then are they parallel to each other?
Yes. [in 3-d].
What does intersecting lines mean?
Intersecting lines are those that lie in the same plane and cross each other at some point. Unless they are parallel, lines in the same plane always cross.
Which geometric object is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from each other?
They are parallel lines
What lines cross over each other at a certain point?
In Euclidean geometry, any two lines in a plane that are not parallel will cross.
Lines cross over each other at a certain point?
In Euclidean geometry, any two lines in a plane that are not parallel will cross.
What are lines that never intersect?
Lines that never intersect are either parallel or skew to each other. If they're both in the same plane (or on the same piece of paper), then they're parallel.
