Because they never move closer to each other; they are always the exact same distance apart.
They don't meet by definition. If the lines in question ever met you would have to come up with a new word to describe them.
Basically, the word parallel is an agreement between everybody practicing Euclidian geometry. We agree to call two lines parallel if they meet the following two criteria:
1. A plane exists on which both lines can exist
2. They never meet
If only #1 is met the lines are called "coplanar" (actually it can be shown that any two lines that do meet must be coplanar)
If only #2 is met the lines are called "skew"
What else can I help you with?
Do parallel lines ever meet?
Parallel lines never ever meet with each other
Two sides of a triangle are parallel?
No, Because the lines in a triangle meet, so they cant be parallel because parallel lines never meet.
Do parallel lines meet at a right angle?
No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
Why do parallel lines meet in the distance?
parallel lines never meet. it is an optical illusion
Will parallel line ever meet each other?
they never can- parrelell lines can never intersect ---------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
Do parallel lines ever meet?
Parallel lines never ever meet with each other
Two sides of a triangle are parallel?
No, Because the lines in a triangle meet, so they cant be parallel because parallel lines never meet.
Do parallel lines meet at a 30 dregrese angle?
Lines that meet are not parallel, and parallel lines never meet.
Where do parallel lines meet?
Parallel lines meet in infinity(they don't meet at all)
What does the math term parallel mean?
The math term parallel mean that two lines will never ever meet no matter how long the line is.The math term parallel mean that two lines will never ever meet no matter how long the line is.The math term parallel mean that two lines will never ever meet no matter how long the line is.The math term parallel mean that two lines will never ever meet no matter how long the line is.different person: crap! there's a lot of these things!
Do parallel lines meet at a right angle?
No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
Will perpendicular lines ever meet?
By definition, perpendicular lines are those which meet in a right angle. So, yes, they have to meet in order to be "perpendicular". Parallel lines may, or may not, meet, depending on how you choose your axioms. In Euclidean geometry, parallel lines never meet. In certain types of non-Euclidean geometry, they can meet.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
Why do parallel lines meet in the distance?
parallel lines never meet. it is an optical illusion
On a flat or spherical surface lines that start parallel to each other can meet?
On a flat Euclidean surface, parallel lines cannot meet. On a sphere, parallel lines CAN meet.
Will parallel line ever meet each other?
they never can- parrelell lines can never intersect ---------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
Which lines will never meet?
Parallel lines
