The usual definition is that the lines should be straight. On "alternative geometries", other definitions may be used. For example, on a sphere, the large circles (the largest you can make, whose center is the center of the sphere) replace straight lines. Note that in this case, the normal parallel axiom is no longer valid.

How many parallel lines in a cylinder 2?

A cylinder includes an infinite number of parallel lines. Every line in the curved surface is parallel to every other one and perpendicular to the two ends. . "A cylinder 2" is meaningless. You would have to look at the homework you're trying to get the answer for to see what cylinder 2 means.


Are curved lines wavy lines?

Multiple curves, or arcs, comprise a wave which generally consists of a crest (high point) and a trough (low point). So generally speaking, a wavy line would be two or more curved lines that are connected.
