Answer:

Parallel lines

Explanation:

It wouldn't be perpendicular lines because a perpendicular line is when two lines come together to make a perfect corner, or 90 degree angle. It wouldn't be neither because parallel lines is when they face each other and if they were to go on forever they would never touch because they go straight. That may sound confusing but and example would be like the opposite lines on a square, how they're perfectly straight and opposite each other. The answer is parallel lines. Hope this helps! Good luck.

Answer:

They're parallel lines .

Explanation:

But they are perpendicular to the lines they meet with. i.e; width lines are parallel to each other. But width lines are perpendicular to length lines.
