If two different lines are perpendicular to the same plane, they are?

Parallel.Parallel.Parallel.Parallel.


Two lines perpendicular to the same line are perpendicular to each other true or false?

TRUE:: The first two lines lie in the same plain, but are perpendicular to each other. The third line passes through the plane of the first two lines so it is also perpendicular. Think 3-dimension. !!!!!


Are two lines parallel to the same plane parallel to each other?

Not necessarily. They could be skew lines, and satisfy these conditions.


Lines on a hyperbolic plane are considered to be?

Hyperbolic geometry is a beautiful example of non-Euclidean geometry. One feature of Euclidean geometry is the parallel postulate. This says that give a line and a point not on that line, there is exactly one line going through the point which is parallel to the line. (That is to say, that does NOT intersect the line) This does not hold in the hyperbolic plane where we can have many lines through a point parallel to a line. But then we must wonder, what do lines look like in the hyperbolic plane? Lines in the hyperbolic plane will either appear as lines perpendicular to the edge of the half-plane or as circles whose centers lie on the edge of the half-plane


What dos perpendicular mean?

Two lines are said to be perpendicular when they are at right angles. That means that the angle between them is 90 degrees.There are other meanings of perpendicular; for example, a line is said to be perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular to EVERY line of the plane that goes through the intersection.

In a plane if two lines are perpendicular to the same line then they are parallel to each other?

Yes they are. It's a postulate: In a plane two lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel.


In a plane if two lines are perpendicular to the same line then are they parallel to each other?

So long as all three lines are in the same plane, yes.


Are all Intersecting lines parallel?

Parallel lines cannot intersect in the Euclidean plane. Intersecting lines are not parallel.


How do you calculate parallel and perpendicular lines in a given plane?

Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.


If two different lines are perpendicular to the same plane, they are?

Parallel.Parallel.Parallel.Parallel.


Are two lines from the same plane parrellel?

They can be, but not necessarily. If two lines in the same plane never intersect, they are parallel. Though, two lines can exist in the same plane without being parallel. Ie, two lines that intersect at a 90 degree angle are perpendicular. Most lines in a plane aren't parallel.


Are lines e and g perpendicular or parallel?

If two lines (which extend infinitely in each direction) lie on the same plane but never intersect, then the lines are parallel. If the lines somewhere intersect, they are not. And if they intersect at right angles, they are orthogonal, or perpendicular.


What two segments or rays in the Same plane are parallel?

Two lines of a plane are said to be parallel if they do not intersect and the perpendicular distance betweem them is always same.


Two lines perpendicular to the same line are perpendicular to each other true or false?

TRUE:: The first two lines lie in the same plain, but are perpendicular to each other. The third line passes through the plane of the first two lines so it is also perpendicular. Think 3-dimension. !!!!!


What is non parallel?

As for example perpendicular lines are non parallel lines.


Are lines in a plane that cross or intersect each other?

Lines that that intersect each other at right angles on a plane are perpendicular lines.


What are lines in a plane that cross or intersect each other?

Lines that that intersect each other at right angles on a plane are perpendicular lines.
