Question

Have you seen long highway roads that never meet and are the same distance apart everywhere? What are roads called, in mathematical terms?

• A. Parallel lines
• B. Intersecting lines
• C. Oblique lines
• D. Perpendicular lines

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Parallel lines

Parallel lines are two lines that are always the same distance apart and never touch. In order for two lines to be parallel, they must be drawn in the same plane, a perfectly flat surface like a wall or sheet of paper, and they must always be at the same distance from each other.
