What is describes lines that meet at right angles?
They meet perpendicularly. Perpendicular lines meet at a 90 degrees angle.
Lines that meet at 90 angle are?
Perpendicular Lines
What are the lines called when plates meet?
Fault lines
Two lines that will never meet?
parallel lines
What are perpendicula lines?
Perpendicular lines are lines that meet to form a right angle.
What do you call intersecting lines that meet?
you call intersecting lines that meet, just intersecting lines yolanda
What are lines that fail to meet?
Lines that fail to meet must be Parallel Lines. Parallel lines are lines which go in exactly the same direction. A bit like and equals sign. (=) the lines aren't supposed to meet, and they could go on forever, but still would never meet. An example of this would be train tracks. If the tracks were to come any closer or further apart, the train would not move on the tracks.
Where do the lines that run north to south come together at?
If you mean the longitude lines, as seen on a globe, they meet at the North Pole and at the South Pole.
What are parellel and perpendicular lines?
Parralell lines are lines that run together and will never meet. For example: __________ __________ Perpendicular lines are lines that run at a 90 degree angle to each other. For example: ____ | |
Why Don't Parallel Lines Ever Meet?
Because they never move closer to each other; they are always the exact same distance apart. They don't meet by definition. If the lines in question ever met you would have to come up with a new word to describe them. Basically, the word parallel is an agreement between everybody practicing Euclidian geometry. We agree to call two lines parallel if they meet the following two criteria: 1. A plane exists on which both lines can exist 2. They never meet If only #1 is met the lines are called "coplanar" (actually it can be shown that any two lines that do meet must be coplanar) If only #2 is met the lines are called "skew"
Do parallel lines meet in geometry?
In reality they would never meet. But mathematically speaking, they would meet at infinity. Infinity is only a relative term.
How do you determine which lines are parallel and where the transversal is?
The transversal line cuts through the parallel lines that are equal distance apart and never meet together.
Define perpendicular lines and describe the type of angle formed by perpendicular lines or line segments?
The definition of perpendicular lines also defines the angles -- perpendicular lines are two lines (or line segments) that meet at a 90 degree angle.
Two lines that never intersect?
The answer would be parallel lines these lines never meet or cross each other.
Do parallel lines meet at a 30 dregrese angle?
Lines that meet are not parallel, and parallel lines never meet.
What letters in the alphabet have parallel lines?
Parallel lines are lines that never intersect or never cross and meet together. There is 4 letters in the alphabet that have parallel lines. E,F,H,I, and N. The letters A,X, and T are examples of intersecting lines. the lines meet together.
Where do parallel lines meet?
Parallel lines meet in infinity(they don't meet at all)
