Very true.
It is only parallel line that can not meet. If the two lines were parallel, then the sum of the inner angles on one side after meeting the third line would be one right angle or more.
Since this is not the case, taking the two angles to be x and y, then,
x+y<2(90)
x+y<180.
This can only mean that the two line must meet to make the third angle, z.
x+y+z=180. (The sum of angles in a triangle).
