If two of the line segments of a polygon are parallel what is the least number of sides it could have?
4sides
How can you construct a parallelogram?
Use two line segments (line A and line B) with all points on line A equidistant from all points on line B; in otherwords, use 2 parallel lines. Choose two points on line A (points a and b). Now choose 2 points on line B (x and y) so that the distance of line ab equals the distance of line xy. Connect points a and y with a line segment ab and points b and z with a line segment bz. In simpler words, take two parallel line segments of equal length, and connect their endpoints with two other line segments.
How do you know if two line segments are perpendicular?
their slopes are negative reciprocals.
What does parallel lines bisected by a transversal line mean?
There are three lines in the figure described. Two of the lines never meet, these are the parallel lines. The third line crosses the other lines, it is the "transversal" line. If the parallel lines are really line SEGMENTS then each can be bisected (cut into two equal lengths) This is what your description states.
Are two segments or rays in the same plane parallel if the planes containing them are parallel?
lines
Does the letter l have two line segments that are parallel?
no
What are two line line segments that are not parallel?
two line segments that are not parallel are intersecting even if they don't touch like this /l / l they are considered intersecting because you must extend it like they are lines to say they are parallel or not
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.
What does two segments that do not intersect look like?
Line segments that do not intersect are parallel lines
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. :)
Are line segments parallel with each other?
it depends on how you place it, they can be. all a line segment is is a straight line, if you have two you can have parallel or crossing lines.
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.
How do you classify a parallel line?
I classify a parallel line as two line segments that will never intersect if the line kept going. They are perfectly straight and even.
What two line segments that do not cross no matter how far they extend?
Parallel lines
Is a square a parallel?
A square has two sets of parallel line segments. "Parallel" does not describe a square, however.
Parallel line segments are 2 line segments that are parallel. They never touch and they do not go on forever. Parallel lines do go on forever because lines go on forever. I think I'm right. Am I?
Yes, you are right. A line segment eventually ends. In fact, a segment has two endpoints. But parallel lines go on forever; they have no endpoints.Example: (arrows indicating they go on forever)_____________________ (these are parallel line segments)
If two of the line segments of a polygon are parallel what is the least number of sides it could have?
