Why does folding paper give you parallel lines?

In most cases it will not.


What problem would there be in your picture if the line were not parallel?

Parallel means lines that are avoiding each other (in other words, they don't touch.) So the problem would have to be the way the lines are going. If the lines were intersecting (or crossing) then that would be the problem.For example: You have a problem on a paper that asks you this same question:What problem would there be in your picture if the lines were not parallel?Answer: Then your lines would be an intersecting pair.Slight definition: If your lines are not parallel, then they would have to be intersecting. Intersecting is when two lines (line segments, angles, etc.) cross on each other. For example... they might make an X by forming together in this pattern. Parallel is when your lines are NOT touching. If they are, they would be considered our P/Intersecting. Standing for "Parallel and Intersecting lines."SRW!!


How many parallel sides has a equilataral triangle got?

A triangle, no matter the type, can never have any parallel sides. To try this out, draw any two parallel lines on a sheet of paper and try to make a triangle out of it.


How many vertical lines are there on a standard sheet of typing paper in length?

By convention there are 60 single-spaced lines per typewritten page. This allows for top and bottom margins, the actual paper length is about 10% more.


What do parallel lines mean?

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.

Real worl examples of parallel lines?

Railroad tracks, the edges of a book, and the lines on a ruled notebook paper are real-world examples of parallel lines.


What are lines that never intersect?

Lines that never intersect are either parallel or skew to each other. If they're both in the same plane (or on the same piece of paper), then they're parallel.


Which paper folding method can be used to form parallel lines?

Folding at right angles.

What are some of the features of Swordfish paper shredders?

Swordfish paper shredders have the unique ability of shredding paper in not just vertical lines, but horizontal at the same time. This results in a nearly perfect destruction of the paper.
