in my opinion no. I believe this since all lines are infinite in geometry as long as they don't touch each other. This would be a totally different story if they would be in a position that at one point they would intersect.

no

Different answer:

A "line" as opposed to a "line segment" is infinite in length.
All lines (in Euclidean geometry) are the same length whether or not they are parallel.

Line segments are obviously not all the same length, whether they are part of parallel lines or not.
no the just cant touch

They don't have to be the same length, as long as they are straight and apart from the same distance, it is still parallel.

Are parallel lines the same length?

In geometry, lines are of infinite length. So, yes, parallel lines have the same length. They are completely 'G' rated at all times. They never touch.


Is a parallelogram a trapezium?

NO!!!! Parallelogram : Two pairs of parallel lines ; The each pair of parallel lines is the same length. Trapezium ; One pair of parallel lines, that are not the same length. The other two sides can be the same length , but not parallel. Both figures/shapes are quadrilaterals.


Define parallel line?

Lines are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the same distance apart over their entire length. Parallel lines remain the same distance apart over their entire length. No matter how far you extend them, they will never meet.


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.


What are 2 lines that lie in the same plane and always the same length apart?

Parallel


What is the math definition for parallel?

Lines are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the same distance apart over their entire length


What shape has parallel sides that are not the same length?

A trapezoid has at least one set of parallel lines, but they need not be the same length. Here is a picture of one with parallel sides, but clearly not the same length Dr. Chuck (picture is from http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L580)


What is a shape that has two parallel lines and has two of the same length?

If it has 2 pairs of parallel lines it is a parallelogram, if it is a quadrilateral. If there is not restrictions on the number of sides, then there are many answers


Could a pair of parallel sides be different lenghth?

Two lines are said to be parallel if perpendicular distance between them is always constant. Length of a pair of parallel lines need not to be same. It can be different.


Why all rhombus are parallelograms?

no\ * * * * * Wrong answer! A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel lines, in which opposite sides are of equal length. A rhombus also has two pairs of parallel lines and, in addition, they are all of the same length.

Is a rectangle and a parallelogram the same?

A rectangle is a type of parallelogram. A parallelogram by nature is a geometric shape where two sides are parallel to each other. Parallel lines run in the same direction with the same distance between them for their entire length. If the lines are extended to infinity, the lines will never intersect. A rectangle is composed of two sets of parallel lines. Two parallel lines make up the top and bottom and two parallel lines make up each side.
