How can contour lines intersect?
Contours can intersect if you have an overhang. If there is a vertical drop, the contours will touch but not cross one another.
Which phrase describes perpendicular lines the lines never touch or the lines intersect at a right angle or the lines intersect at an acute angle or the lines intersect at a obtuse angle?
Lines that intersect at right angles.
Straight lines that touch but don't intersect a curve?
Tangent to the curve.
What are perallel lines?
Two straight lines that don't touch or intersect no matter how far they are extended
Are parallel lines diagonal?
They can be as long as the don't intersect or touch at any point.

Which phrase describes perpendicular lines the lines never touch or the lines intersect at a right angle or the lines intersect at an acute angle or the lines intersect at a obtuse angle?
Lines that intersect at right angles.
What is the definition for parallel lines?
two lines that never intersect or touch.
Can parallel lines touch in the beginning?
No. By definition, lines that are parallel never intersect.
How are intersecting lines alike to perpendicular lines?
intersecting lines are alike because perpendicular lines have to intersect to be perpendicular. 2: They are the same because they touch another line so they are the same.
What is the definition for parallelism?
two lines that never intersect or touch.
Why is there only one kind of parallel lines?
parallel lines are any lines that will never touch. on a 3D plane, there will be many lines that won't intersect another. but parallel lines have a specific definition that there is no way to subcatigorize it
Straight lines that touch but don't intersect a curve?
Tangent to the curve.
What are perallel lines?
Two straight lines that don't touch or intersect no matter how far they are extended
Do skew lines meet at any point?
Skew lines in 3 dimensional geometry, do not lie in the same plane, and will not intersect. Think of an overpass 'crossing' a freeway. From an aerial view they appear to intersect, but one is above the other (in different planes). They do not touch each other.
What is the number of points at which two parallel lines intersect?
Parallel lines NEVER touch, so zero.
What is a two word answer for lines that do not touch or intersect?
it is go ask yahoo answers
