Parallel line segments are 2 line segments that are parallel. They never touch and they do not go on forever. Parallel lines do go on forever because lines go on forever. I think I'm right. Am I?

Yes, you are right. A line segment eventually ends. In fact, a segment has two endpoints. But parallel lines go on forever; they have no endpoints.

Why do two non-parallel lines have to intersect?
The lines have to intersect because lines go on forever and if then are not parallel then they will collide. Even if they are not parallel by one degree they will still intersect.
Do parallel lines go on forever?
No, But 1 Dimensional Does. The lines may or may not go on forever but that has no effect on whether or not a parallel line will cross.
Do parallel lines continue forever?
Yes, in plane geometry parallel lines continue forever. However, in polar geometry (3 dimensions, as in Earth longitudinal lines), parallel lines eventually intersect at the poles of the sphere,
What is two planes that go on forever and never meet are called what?
parallel
If two lines are perpendicular they are also parallel?
PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINESParallel lines can run side by side on forever but perpendicular lines make a 90 degree angle.
Why do two non-parallel lines have to intersect?
The lines have to intersect because lines go on forever and if then are not parallel then they will collide. Even if they are not parallel by one degree they will still intersect.
Are two same lines parallel?
yes two lines that are the same line are parallel because they continue forever and do not intercept.
Do parallel lines go on forever?
No, But 1 Dimensional Does. The lines may or may not go on forever but that has no effect on whether or not a parallel line will cross.
What is the definition of a parallel line?
Parallel lines are at least two lines that never cross and run forever.
Do parallel lines continue forever?
Yes, in plane geometry parallel lines continue forever. However, in polar geometry (3 dimensions, as in Earth longitudinal lines), parallel lines eventually intersect at the poles of the sphere,
What is a parallel side?
parallel side are side that keep going and never touch and two side which carry on forever
If there are 6 horizontal parallel and 7 vertical parallel lines then how many parallelograms we can get?
Infinite; you could go into the decimal forever.
Can two lines be parallel?
yes, even if they go on forever they can be.
What if the lines weren't parallel?
If two lines go on forever without touching but are not parallel, they are skew, lines that do not lie in the same plane.
What are parallel sides?
Parallel sides are sides that keep going and never touch.Remember, the BASES are the parallel sides.Parallel sides are two lines which carry on forever at the same distance forever, and never, ever touch. Go to this website for more info:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(geometry)
What is two planes that go on forever and never meet are called what?
parallel
If a line is held above another line without touching or without been parallel is it skew?
Technically isn't it perpendicular? If it isn't parallel, then they will eventually touch because lines go on forever and if you were to extend it, they'd touch.
