What does parallel mean in math?
The word parallel means that one set (or more) of lines will never touch, even if the line goes on forever.Example of a set of parallel lines:_______________________________________________________Note: parallel lines do not have to be in equal length.
I have 2 pair of parallel sides. The opposite sides are equal in length. All of the angles are equal in size and there are 2 lines of symmetry. What am I?
A rectangle.
What does a parallel line look like?
In order to describe parallel, you need 2 lines to be parallel to each other. The lines will lie in the same plane, and the right-angle distance between the 2 lines will be constant for the entire length of the lines. Since lines are infinite length in length, they will never intersect.
Does a rhombus only have one set of parallel lines?
No, a rhombus has 2 pairs of parallel sides. A rhombus is a special case of a parallelogram. It has all four sides equal length.
If Two lines are parallel they are equal?
All lines are equal since all lines are infinetly long. If you are talking about line segments than you can quantify if they are equal by looking at the number. Two parallel lines will NEVER cross each other though
