Parallel line segments? Or parallels maybe. In french at least it's that way, so I'm assuming it's the same for english. :)

What are two line line segments that are not parallel?

two line segments that are not parallel are intersecting even if they don't touch like this /l / l they are considered intersecting because you must extend it like they are lines to say they are parallel or not


What two quadrilaterals have two sets of parallel sides?

There are more than two: A parallelogram has two sets of parallel line segments which may be of unequal length; A rectangle is a parallelogram that has line segments that meet at right angles; A rhombus has to sets of parallel line segments which are all of the same length; A square is a rhombus which has line segments meeting at right angles, or stated differently a square is a rectangle which has all line segments of the same length.

How do you know if two line segments are parallel?

Their slopes are equal.


What is a trapezoid'?

US DefinitionA trapezoid is a closed plane figure consisting of four line segments/sides; two of these line segments are parallel (but not equal in length) and two are nonparallel.(in the UK, this is called a trapezium)British DefinitionA trapezoid is a closed plane figure consisting of four line segments/sides; NONE of these line segments are parallel to any of the other line segments of the quadrilateral.(in the US this is just a quadrilateral)*(see the related links for images of trapezoids)

Are line segments parallel with each other?

it depends on how you place it, they can be. all a line segment is is a straight line, if you have two you can have parallel or crossing lines.

Parallel lines


How do you classify a parallel line?

I classify a parallel line as two line segments that will never intersect if the line kept going. They are perfectly straight and even.


If two lines are parallel are they congruent?

First, lines and rays cannot be congruent because they do not have both end points defined. Not having an end point define means we cannot talk about their length so they can't be congruent. Line segments, however, can be congruent. Congruent line segments NEED NOT be parallel.Furthermore, if two line segments are parallel, that does not mean they are congruent since parallel line segments may not have the same length.Congruent line segments would be ones that are the same length.


Is a square a parallel?

A square has two sets of parallel line segments. "Parallel" does not describe a square, however.
