Does perpendicular lines have a constant distance between them?
No but parallel lines have a constant distance between them
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular planes?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other but perpendicular lines intersect at right angles
Why is it important to know the difference between parallel vs perpendicular?
perpendicular cross parallel do not
What are parallel faces in 3D shapes?
They are faces such that the perpendicular distance between them is the same wherever on either face you measure it.
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
Does perpendicular lines have a constant distance between them?
No but parallel lines have a constant distance between them
Is the distance between the two parallels is not same?
The perpendicular distance between two parallel lines is always the same.
How do you find the shortest distance between two parallel lines?
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line

What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular line on rectangle?
The difference between a perpendicular line and a parallel line is that a perpendicular line crosses or joins, while a parallel line doesn't touch at all.
What does parallel planes mean in Britain?
Two planes are parallel if the perpendicular distance between them remains constant. This is not a British definition but a mathematical definition and so is valid everywhere.
Could a pair of parallel sides be different lenghth?
Two lines are said to be parallel if perpendicular distance between them is always constant. Length of a pair of parallel lines need not to be same. It can be different.
How do parallel and perpendicular slopes compare or their y intercept?
There is no relationship between the slopes of parallel or perpendicular lines and their y-intercepts.
What are the characteristics of a trapezium?
has two parallel sideshas four straight linesThe area of the trapezium is given by the following formula where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides.
