Quick question how do you prove that lines are parallel? I can't seem to find that on here and i really need to know!

If you draw a line through the 2 lines, it should be perpendicular to both lines.

I am having trouble remember these. Anyone have any tips to help me remember? Edit : Case Closed. But thank you Taylyn for answering my question! Everyone have a nice day.

Yes. In the word Parallel, the double L's are side by side, and if going on in a straight line, would never touch. So, the double L's in Parallel are, well, parallel. Use those as an example to help you remember what parallel means.

Are perpendicular any kind of lines that intersect each other? I've got to know this!

Yes, perpendicular lines intersect each other with 4 90-degree angles.

Does a perpendicular line ALWAYS have to be 90 degrees? Just a Question

Yes, a perpendicular line must always be at a 90-degree angle

What happens if a Parallel line goes through a regular line so that make it perpendicular so what is that.

If the parallel line goes through the line, the lines will not be parallel anymore, so they will only be perpendicular if they meet at a right angle.

Why does the human brain have to know what geometry is?

So it can identify shapes and measure things. It also helps make the human brain grow. Hope this helps :D

does perpendicular line have to be the exactly 90 degrees?

It always have to be exactly at a right angle, and a right angle is always 90 degrees so yes.

what is are perpendicular and parallel lines

Perpendicular means they make a right angle. (A 45 degree angle) Parallel means they will go on forever and never meet.

Review the basics of parallel and perpendicular lines. Identify and draw parallel and perpendicular lines in some practice problems.

What are start color #1fab54, start text, p, e, r, p, e, n, d, i, c, u, l, a, r, space, l, i, n, e, s, end text, end color #1fab54 and start color #7854ab, start text, p, a, r, a, l, l, e, l, space, l, i, n, e, s, end text, end color #7854ab?

start color #1fab54, start text, P, e, r, p, e, n, d, i, c, u, l, a, r, space, l, i, n, e, s, end text, end color #1fab54 are lines that meet at right angles.

start color #7854ab, start text, P, a, r, a, l, l, e, l, space, l, i, n, e, s, end text, end color #7854ab are always the same distance apart from each other — no matter how far they are extended, they will never meet.

Practice set 1: Identify parallel and perpendicular lines

Problem 1A

Current

Which of the following pairs of sides in triangle, G, A, Z are perpendicular?

(Choice A)
start overline, G, A, end overline and start overline, A, Z, end overline
(Choice B)
start overline, A, Z, end overline and start overline, G, Z, end overline
(Choice C)
start overline, G, A, end overline and start overline, G, Z, end overline
(Choice D)
No sides are perpendicular.
