What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
How do you find out if lines are parallel?
If the distance between the lines is constant then they are parallel.
Name that line lines that always have the same distance between them?
parallel lines - they are parallel when the distance between them remains constant
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular planes?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other but perpendicular lines intersect at right angles
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
Could a pair of parallel sides be different lenghth?
Two lines are said to be parallel if perpendicular distance between them is always constant. Length of a pair of parallel lines need not to be same. It can be different.
How do you find out if lines are parallel?
If the distance between the lines is constant then they are parallel.
Is the distance between the two parallels is not same?
The perpendicular distance between two parallel lines is always the same.
Name that line lines that always have the same distance between them?
parallel lines - they are parallel when the distance between them remains constant
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular planes?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other but perpendicular lines intersect at right angles
How can intersected lines be perpendicular?
If the angle between the lines is 90 degrees the lines are perpendicular.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
How do you find the shortest distance between two parallel lines?
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
What is the different of a perpendicular lines and intersecting lines?
The only difference between perpendicular lines and intersecting lines is that perpendicular lines create a right angle at the point of intersection.
What is the difference between perpendicular and intersecting lines?
perpendicular crosses at a right angle, while intersecting lines don't
Are intersecting lines perpendicular or not perpendicular?
Intersecting lines may or may not be perpendicular. If the angle of intersection between two intersecting lines is 90 degrees, then the two lines are perpendicular. Otherwise, the lines are not perpendicular. For example: A | | | B ----|----- | | Here, the lines A and B are intersecting. The angle between A and B is 90 degrees. Therefore, line A and line B are perpendicular to each other.
