Q2. Based on the figure given above, find - (a) A pair of intersecting lines – (b) A pair of parallel lines
Answers
Answer:
Parallel Lines
If a pair of lines lie in the same plane and do not intersect when produced on either side, then such lines are parallel to each other.
Pair of Lines
If L and M are two parallel lines, we read it as L is parallel to M. We know that two lines in the same plane either intersect or are parallel to each other. However, these two lines L and M, lying in the same plane are parallel if they do not meet anywhere, however far they are extended.
Note that the distance between two parallel lines is the same everywhere. For example a railway track, opposite sides of a blackboard, two opposite edges of a door etc.
Transversal Lines
A straight line which cuts two or more straight lines at distinct points is called a transversal line. For example, a railway line crossing several other lines. In the figure, t is a transversal line and l, m are parallel lines.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer :
Parallel lines: the railway tracks
Intersecting line: roadways
