What shape has opposite parallel lines?
parallelogram
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel. The first figure above is a parallelogram. There are a few special features of parallelograms.
Does a rhombus have opposite parallel lines?
Lesson Summary. A rhombus is a quadrilateral (plane figure, closed shape, four sides) with four equal-length sides and opposite sides parallel to each other. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses.
What are shapes with parallel lines?
Shapes are parallel if they have lines that are always the same distance from each other and will never intersect or touch. Some shapes that have parallel sides include the parallelogram, the rectangle, the square, the trapezoid, the hexagon, and the octagon. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.
Which of these Quadrilaterals have opposite sides that are parallel?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which both pairs of opposite sides are parallel .
What are the sides of a shape that are parallel?
Parallel sides are two or more sides on a shape that are parallel. We mark a set of parallel sides on a shape with an arrow on each side. We mark further sets of parallel sides with two or more arrows if we have already marked a set with one arrow each. Parallel sides go in exactly the same direction and do not touch.
What are lines that are always parallel to each other?
Parallel sides, lines, line segments, and rays are two lines that are always the same distance apart and never meet. For a given line, only one line passing through a point not on that line will be parallel to it, like this:
What is the symbol for parallel lines in math?
Some shapes will have sides that go in exactly the same direction and are therefore parallel. The symbol for parallel lines is an arrow. An arrow is drawn on every side that is parallel to another. It does not matter which direction each arrow faces as long as it is in the same direction as the arrow on the side that it is parallel to.
Can a triangle have three sets of parallel lines?
A triangle has three sides and can’t have any parallel lines. A pentagon has five sides and also has no sets of parallel lines. So we will cross out these two options. Remember how I said that the number of arrows mattered. These two sides have one arrow each. And it tells us that these two sides are parallel with each other.
