It means the lines will never meet, even if they went on infinitely long. The lines move in exactly the same direction, even if their length is different. Another way to think about it, is that you could lay one line over the other, and you would only see one line (because they line up exactly).
To help visualize this, lay to pencils side by side so that the eraser is flush with something (a piece of paper, table end, etc.). These pencils are said to be parallel.
With a square, the "top" and "bottom" lines are parallel to each other. The "left" and "right" lines are parallel to each other. But, for example, the "top" and "left" lines are perpendicular to each other, which just means they form a 90 degree angle.
The symbol used to denote parallel is: ∥ (two parallel lines actually)
So A ∥ B just means A is parallel to B.
They are lines that cut through parallel lines
They could be: parallel lines, perpendicular lines or intersecting lines
parellel lines mean they are to lines the same
parallel. Perpendicular mean 2 lines connect at a 90 degree angle
Parallel sides are lines that remain the same distance apart.
_____ lines are parallel and run _____.
You mean lines or sides? But,octagon has parallel lines. Um, four parallel lines.
They are lines that cut through parallel lines
They could be: parallel lines, perpendicular lines or intersecting lines
Parallel in maths means opposite. Two parallel lines can never touch. I you are not sure if two lines are parallel then imagine that these lines go on for ever, will they eventually cross?
parellel lines mean they are to lines the same
parallel. Perpendicular mean 2 lines connect at a 90 degree angle
Two lines are parallel when they are perfectly straight, side by side. Train tracks for example. The symbol for parallel is: (I.E. AB)
Parallel sides are lines that remain the same distance apart.
Lines that are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
it means that two straight lines that will never connect
Yes, parallel means that two lines do not cross but lay side-by-side. Perpendicular is the opposite of parallel and means two lines intersecting.
