Two sides of a triangle are parallel?
No, Because the lines in a triangle meet, so they cant be parallel because parallel lines never meet.
Do parallel lines meet at a right angle?
No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
Why do parallel lines meet in the distance?
parallel lines never meet. it is an optical illusion
Will parallel line ever meet each other?
they never can- parrelell lines can never intersect ---------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
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"
