DESCRIPTION
Pairs of Lines. Parallel Lines. Parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect. Arrows are used to indicate lines are parallel. The symbol used for parallel lines is ||. In the above figure, the arrows show that line AB is parallel to line CD. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Parallel Lines
• Parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect.• Arrows are used to indicate lines are parallel.• The symbol used for parallel lines is ||.

PERPENDICULAR LINES
• Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect to form a right angle.
• The symbol used for perpendicular lines is . • 4 right angles are formed.

OBLIQUE LINES
• Oblique lines are lines that intersect, but do NOT form a right angle.
5
Skew Lines and Parallel Planes
• Two lines are skew if they do not intersect and are not in the same plane (not coplanar).
Ex: are skew.
• All planes are either parallel or intersecting.
• Parallel planes are two planes that do not intersect.
