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.


How many parallel lines does a triangle have?

It has no paralel lines. A paralel line are two lines that never cross. If you notice, in a trinagle all lines are touching all other lines.


Can a triangle have to parallel sides?

No it can't, because if a triangle has two parallel lines then it ceases to be a triangle and becomes quadrilateral or a polygon.


What are the two parallel lines that cant intersect?

The question does not make sense. Parallel lines, by definition, do not intersect.


What is a counterexample for three coplanar lines always make a triangle?

If at least two of the three lines are parallel, the three lines will not form a triangle.


Can a triangle have two parallel angles?

In two dimensions, lines can be parallel, angles cannot. So no plane shape has parallel angles.


Does a rght triangle need parallel and perpendicular lines?

Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle so a right angled triangle has two lines which are perpendicular to eachother. However there are no parallel lines in a right angled triangle, or any triangles for that matter.


Can a triangle have 2 parallel lines?

A triangle has by definition three intersecting sides. If two of the sides are parallel, they will never intersect, so no triangle can ever be formed.


How many pairs of a parllael lines does a square have and a triangle?

A square has two pairs of opposite parallel lines whereas a triangle has none.


How many parallel lines can a triangle have?

All of the three sides of a triangle can be parts of parallel lines; it's just that no two of them can be parallel with each other. They can be parallel to some other line(s). In plane geometry parallel lines cannot form the sides of a common triangle.


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.


Which of these shapes could never have two parallel lines and at leastone right angle?
