How do you make a rectangle that is not a parallelogram?
You can't... A rectangle is defined by 2 sets of parallel lines, ans a parallelogram has 1+ sets of parallel lines
How many pairs of parallel sides does a quadrlateral have?
Since a quadrilateral is a defined as any object with two sets of two parallel lines that form four 90 degree right angles. It would have 2 sets of 2 parallel lines.
Which geometric object is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from each other?
They are parallel lines
What are lines that never intersect called?
the answer is parallel lines
What are all the lines like parallel?
parallel lines are slanted lines
Why aren't skew lines parallel?
Because of the way parallel lines are defined. Parallel lines never meet, but to qualify as parallel lines, additional conditions may apply. From Wikipedia: "Two lines in a plane that do not intersect or meet are called parallel lines." Emphasis added.
What is true about the slope of parallel lines?
The slopes will be the same. It is also possible that both parallel lines have no slope defined - if they are vertical.
What is Parallel force system?
When the lines of action of all the forces are not parallel to each other is defined as non parallel forces
How do you make a rectangle that is not a parallelogram?
You can't... A rectangle is defined by 2 sets of parallel lines, ans a parallelogram has 1+ sets of parallel lines
Why is the distance between two lines only defined for parallel lines?
because they never intersect
Parallel lines are defined as lines that have only one point in common?
No, parallel lines never intersect, so they do not have any points in common. Intersecting lines have one common point.
What is non-parallel force system?
When the lines of action of all the forces are not parallel to each other is defined as non parallel forces
How many pairs of parallel sides does a quadrlateral have?
Since a quadrilateral is a defined as any object with two sets of two parallel lines that form four 90 degree right angles. It would have 2 sets of 2 parallel lines.
Which geometric object is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from each other?
They are parallel lines
Can intersecting lines also be parellel?
No, parallel lines are defined as always being the same distance away from each other, or having the same slope.
When are two lines nonintersecting?
When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.
Are parallel lines actually parallel?
If they were not actually parallel then they would not be parallel lines!
