No.

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a 90° angle.

If two lines are perpendicular, they create four 90° angles.

However, for two lines to intersect, they do not necessarily have to intersect at a 90° angle.

All roses are flowers, but not all flowers are roses.

All perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but not all intersecting lines are perpendicular.
