Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
What do lines of latitude and longitude form when they intersect?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude.That is, they intersect at right angles.And here's a fascinating trivia factoid that you can use to amuse and amazeyour friends:-- No matter how many of these intersections you think there are,there are more than that.-- There are an infinite number of meridians of longitude, and every oneof them intersects an infinite number of parallels of latitude.
What are the lines of latitude called?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and form part of a grid used to describe where on the earth you are. They are often called parallels.
Is latitude form north and south?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
What are east to west lines that form circles around the equator?
Latitude
What are lines that intersect that do NOT form right angles?
Lines that intersect but do not form a right are just called intersecting lines. Perpendicular lines DO form a right angle when they intersect.
When two lines intersect at a point they form and what?
When two lines intersect they form an axes.
What lines are intersecting lines that form right angles when they intersect?
Perpendicular lines form right angles when they intersect.
What are lines that intersect at the same point?
yes two lines intersect to form a point two planes intersect to form a line
Lines that intersect to form right angles are called?

What are lines that intersect to form a right triangle?
Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles.
What are lines that intersect to form a ninety degree angle?
When two lines intersect to form a 90o angle, they are said to be perpendicular.
Are two lines that intersect to form right angle?
Perpendicular lines form right angles when they intersect each other.

When two lines intersect to form right angles they are called what?
Two lines that intersect to form right angles are perpendicular.
What are Two lines that intersect and form a right angle are called?
When two lines intersect to form a right angle they are called perpendicular.
