Are the metal rails that make up train tracks an example of parallel lines intersecting lines or perpendicular lines?
On successful railways it has been found that parallel works the best.
Is a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?
A rectangle is a type of parallelogram. A parallelogram by nature is a geometric shape where two sides are parallel to each other. Parallel lines run in the same direction with the same distance between them for their entire length. If the lines are extended to infinity, the lines will never intersect. A rectangle is composed of two sets of parallel lines. Two parallel lines make up the top and bottom and two parallel lines make up each side.
Two lines that will never meet?
Two lines that will never meet are parallel lines. Parallel lines are two lines that are always the same distance apart and will never intersect, no matter how far they are extended. This property is a fundamental concept in geometry and is defined by having the same slope but different y-intercepts.
Where did euclid grow up?
Euclid is thought to have been born in Greece and educated in Athens.
Is it possible to draw two lines on a sphere that are parallel?
If by parallel, you mean two lines that do not intersect, yes, it is possible to draw them on the surface of a sphere. They will end up being circles, and most pairs will not be equal in size. If you add the idea that the two lines also continue to infinity to the definition, then you cannot draw such things on the surface of a sphere.
What is a number that has parallel lines?
Eleven is the simplest one that I can come up with.
How are parallel lines and parallel planes used in architecture?
parallel lines are used in the white house. The columns holding it up are parallel lines and the floor and the roof of a room are parallel planes as long as they are the same shape
Are the metal rails that make up train an example of parallel line intersecting lines or perpendicular lines?
Railway lines are parallel
How many pairs of parallel line does a triangle have?

How many set of parallel line to make up a square?
2 sets of parallel lines make up a square. One set is composed of vertical lines, the other of horizontal ones.
Is angles in parallel lines supposed to add up to 360 degrees?
Parallel lines do not meet. Therefore they do not form any angles! So the angles (that do not exist) cannot add up to anything.
What does parallel mean in dance?
Parallel lines are staright across from each other. = Equal signs are parallel from each other. So are railroad tracks. The lines in the following letters are parallel: E Z N The lines in the "E" are parallel. The top and bottom lines in "Z" are parallel. The left and right lines in an "N" are parallel.
Is latitude up or down?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
How many pairs of parallel lines does a nonagon have?
up to four pairs is the answer
