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.


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.


Two lines that never intersect?

The answer would be parallel lines these lines never meet or cross each other.


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.


Do parallel lines meet at a 30 dregrese angle?

Lines that meet are not parallel, and parallel lines never meet.


Where do parallel lines meet?

Parallel lines meet in infinity(they don't meet at all)


How do you know what the vertex of an angle is?

What are 2 lines in a plane that do not meet?

2 Lines in the same plane that do not meet are parallel. If 2 lines are in different planes and do not meet, then they are called skew lines.
