Can a pair of lines be both parallel and perpendicular? Explan

no because for two lines to be parallel they can not intersect each other but a different line can.

No, the 2 lines can never ever be both parallel and perpendicular if I'm not mistaken. This is because a set of parallel lines will never touch each other at all. However perpendicular lines are two lines that meet up to get an angle of 90. You cannot have two lines that never touch and touch at the same time.
