What is the name of the shape formed when two lines are drawn away from a single point?
That is called an angle.
What shape has 4 sides 1 pair of parallel sides with no equal angles?
A trapezoid can be drawn to fit the description, as a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two sides parallel and two sides nonparallel.
Through a point not on the line exactly one line can be drawn parallel to the?
... given line. This is one version of Euclid's fifth postulate, also known as the Parallel Postulate. It is quite possible to construct consistent systems of geometry where this postulate is negated - either many parallel lines or none.
What postulate is not of euclidean geometry?
Euclidean Geometry is based on the premise that through any point there is only one line that can be drawn parallel to another line. It is based on the geometry of the Plane. There are basically two answers to your question: (i) Through any point there are NO lines that can be drawn parallel to a given line (e.g. the geometry on the Earth's surface, where a line is defined as a great circle. (Elliptic Geometry) (ii) Through any point, there is an INFINITE number of lines that can be drawn parallel of a given line. (I think this is referred to as Riemannian Geometry, but someone else needs to advise us on this) Both of these are fascinating topics to study.
How do you draw a quadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides?
A quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram (two sets of parallel sides) may be a trapezoid or a trapezium (US terms). To draw a trapezium (irregular quadrilateral), draw two parallel lines and connect them with unequal lines at non-congruent angles. If you make the angles opposite and congruent, you have drawn a trapezoid, which looks like a small stepstool with a top smaller than the base. If you make the connecting lines of equal length, you have drawn a trapezoid or parallelogram.
What are all lines of latitude drawn to be parallel from?
equator
The equator is an imaginary circle drawn around the earth that divides it into northern and southern hemispheres What are the imaginary lines called that are parallel to the equator?
false
What does parellel mean when you are talking about geography?
A line of latitude, that is a line drawn (on maps and globes) that refers to a constant distance from the equator. therefore a "parallel" to the equator. The central and western border between the US and Canada is the 49th parallel.
What is parallel in geography?
It is a circle drawn around the globe parallel to the equator and at right angles to the meridians.
Defintion of the Equator?
An imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres and constituting the parallel of latitude 0°
Lines drawn parallel to the axes of the graph?
Lines drawn parallel to the axes have only one letter.y=5 is horizontal, parallel to the x-axisx=5 is vertical , parallel to the y-axis.
What is the equator and What is its degrees latitude?
The equator is the line made up of all the points on Earth that areequal distances from both the north and south poles.The equator is defined as the line of zero latitude.
How many parallel tangents can be drawn to a circle?
An infinite amount
How many lines of latitude are there when drawn at interval of 1 degree each?
If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
Which line is parallel to the equator?
All Latitude Lines are parallel to the equator. If you're looking at a flat map, they will be horizontal lines, but depending on the type of map, they may be drawn to curve 'up' in the Northern Hemisphere & curve 'down' in the Southern Hemisphere. On a globe, they will be circles running East-West around the globe. Some specific named latitudes are Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle.
What is the diameter of a parabola?
It is the bisector of any 2 parallel chords drawn to the parabola. It is always parallel to the axis of the parabola.
