Examples of parallel lines?
Railway tracks electrical lines
How do examples of parallel lines look?
Railway tracks, the opposite edges of a rule.
What would be the problem if railway tracks are not parallel lines?
If the tracks are not parallel, the wheels will not stay on the tracks; train wheels are spaced at a fixed width, or gauge, and that width cannot expand or contract to accommodate non-parallel tracks. Thus, if the tracks were non-parallel, the wheel would come off the track and cause a derailment.
What does parelell mean?
parallel?? Parallel is usually used to talk about lines or similar it means they are equal distance apart. For example railway tracks are parallel.
What has opposite sides and opposite sides are parallel?
A parallelogram. Special cases a square, a rectangle, and a rhombus. Regular polygons with an even number of sides, ( hexagons, octagons etc.) also have opposite sides that are parallel. A pair of parallel lines (eg. straight railway tracks) also has 2 sides that are parallel.
