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.


What is the definition of where two lines intersect?

the definition of intersecting lines is: two lines that meet and cross at the same at the same place


What is it called when two collinear lines meet?

Collinear lines lie on the same straight line passing through the same points and they are coplanular lines when meeting on the same plane.


What are two lines that do not lie in the same place called?

Two lines that do not lie in the same place are called non-coplanar lines. This means that the lines do not intersect and are not parallel to each other in three-dimensional space.


Two lines in the same plane that never meet?

Two coplanar (in the same plane) lines that don't meet are parallel.

What is the opposite angles where two lines meet?

The opposite angles are simply called opposite angles. They always have the same measure.


What do you call when two lines have meet?

It depends what shape the lines meet in. If they meet in a triangle the point in which the lines meet are called the vertex.In Geometry, this isn't precisely true, since there are no "lines" in a triangle, only line segments.In Euclidean (standard) geometry, two lines can only:(a) meet at a single "point"; OR(b) never meet (they are parallel lines).You could ask "what if they meet at several points?". In that case, there is just one line. A line goes on infinitely far in either direction. And if two lines meet at more than one point, they are congruent at every point, and are therefore both just the same line. It is impossible for two different lines to meet at two or more points in Euclidean geometry.

What type of lines (falling in the same plane) are equidistant apart and never meet?

They are parallel lines


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"
