Examples of parallel lines?
Railway tracks electrical lines
How do examples of parallel lines look?
Railway tracks, the opposite edges of a rule.
What would be the problem if railway tracks are not parallel lines?
If the tracks are not parallel, the wheels will not stay on the tracks; train wheels are spaced at a fixed width, or gauge, and that width cannot expand or contract to accommodate non-parallel tracks. Thus, if the tracks were non-parallel, the wheel would come off the track and cause a derailment.
What does parelell mean?
parallel?? Parallel is usually used to talk about lines or similar it means they are equal distance apart. For example railway tracks are parallel.
What has opposite sides and opposite sides are parallel?
A parallelogram. Special cases a square, a rectangle, and a rhombus. Regular polygons with an even number of sides, ( hexagons, octagons etc.) also have opposite sides that are parallel. A pair of parallel lines (eg. straight railway tracks) also has 2 sides that are parallel.

What type of lines are always the same distance apart?
The lines are said to be parallel - one example is railway tracks.
When you look down a railroad track and they meet what is that point called?
I assume you mean that the parallel railway tracks meet.The point where Parallel lines meet is called infinity.BUTIn your example of of railway tracks the apparent meeting is caused by perspective and the point is called the vanishing point.
How do railway engineers make sure that railway tracks are parallel?
In Great Britian, when track is being laided, there is a track machine used to "tamper" the track so they are straight and parallel to each other.
Are railway tracks and railway lines the same?
No. Railway tracks are only the rails and ties/sleepers and hardware used to hold the track in place. A railway line is a set of tracks designed to move a train between at least 2 points. A railway line can consist of many tracks.
What country has more railway tracks France or belgium?
France has more railway tracks than Belgium.
Why do railway tracks sound louder in winter than in summer is it expansion or contraction?
Contraction is the reason that railway tracks sound louder in winter.

What is the total length of railway tracks in France?
France has 29,901 kilometres of railway.
