Two line segments are parallel if the distance between them is the same from one end of the line segment to the other, or if they never intersect. They may very well be different lengths which would give them different midpoints. In fact if you plotted them on the x,y, cartesian coordinate system, even if they were the same lenght, the midpoint would be different since the lines never intersect.

Are two segments or rays in the same plane parallel if the planes containing them are parallel?
lines
What is are congruent segments?
Line segments are congruent if they have the same length.
What is the converse of if two segments have the same length then they are congruent?
If two line segments are congruent then they have the same length.
Line segments with the same length are?
congruent
If one line has a slope of then the slope of a line parallel to it would be?
The same. Parallel lines have the same slope.
Can parallel lines be line segments?
They can not be line segments on the same line, but they can both be line segments.
What is a line and or line segment that are exactly the same distance apart?
Parallel lines or line segments.Parallel lines or line segments.Parallel lines or line segments.Parallel lines or line segments.
What two quadrilaterals have two sets of parallel sides?
There are more than two: A parallelogram has two sets of parallel line segments which may be of unequal length; A rectangle is a parallelogram that has line segments that meet at right angles; A rhombus has to sets of parallel line segments which are all of the same length; A square is a rhombus which has line segments meeting at right angles, or stated differently a square is a rectangle which has all line segments of the same length.
Do parallel line segments have to be the same length?
no, if they are both in the same plane and IF EXTENDED INDEFINITELY would never intersect at any point then the segments are considered parallel.
What are two parallel line segments called?
Parallel line segments? Or parallels maybe. In french at least it's that way, so I'm assuming it's the same for english. :)
If two lines are parallel are they congruent?
First, lines and rays cannot be congruent because they do not have both end points defined. Not having an end point define means we cannot talk about their length so they can't be congruent. Line segments, however, can be congruent. Congruent line segments NEED NOT be parallel.Furthermore, if two line segments are parallel, that does not mean they are congruent since parallel line segments may not have the same length.Congruent line segments would be ones that are the same length.
Does midpoints mean parallel?
No, midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is the same distance from both ends.
Definition for congruent line segments for geometry?
congruent line segments- line segments that have the same lengths.
A figure that has 5 line segments and is not a polygon?
Just off the top of my head . . . -- 4 parallel line segments, with a separate line segment crossing all of them -- 5 line segments all hooked together at the same point in the center, like five spokes of a wagon wheel.
Is the midpoint of a line the same as the slope of a line?
No. The midpoint of a line is the middle point on the line, while the slope is a measure of how the line is oriented.
What is the definition of congruent line segment in geometry?
Line segments are congruent if they have the same length. However, they need not be parallel. They can be at any angle or orientation on the plane
Which letters have parallel line segment?
The definition of parallel is two rays, lines, or line segments that have the same slope and will never touch. The word parallel is a good example (at least in lowercase) - examine the l's.parallelAlso depends on the font you choose.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
