The question is a true and false.
Two concurrent lines can never be perpendicular.
Concurrent lines I thought were three or more lines that intersected at the same point. I think this is true because a perpendicular line has to intersect at a point that makes the angle ninety degrees.
False
Here is a picture of concurrent lines

concurrent - from the Latin, curro - to run
con or (com) - together or with
why can't they meet at 90° ?
To determine whether the statement "Two concurrent lines can never be perpendicular" is true or false, we need to clarify the definition of concurrent lines and the concept of perpendicular lines.
Concurrent lines, as you correctly stated, are three or more lines that intersect at the same point. They all pass through a common point of intersection. So, when the statement refers to "two concurrent lines," it may be a misnomer as, by definition, concurrent lines involve more than two lines.
On the other hand, perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect at a right angle, forming 90-degree angles between them. In other words, the intersection of perpendicular lines creates four 90-degree angles.
Based on the given information, we can conclude that the statement is true. Two lines that intersect at a common point (concurrent lines) cannot be perpendicular because perpendicular lines form right angles, not a common point of intersection.
