Geometry II

Lines: Intersecting and Parallel

Lines in the same plane either intersect (meet at a point)

or are parallel (never meet).

KL and UV are intersecting lines. QR and ST are parallel lines.

They meet at point P. QR
ST

Line segments and rays may also intersect or be parallel.

AB 
CD MN 
OP EF intersects GH

at point X.









Identify each pair of geometric figures as intersectingor parallel.

Draw each.Yo u may use dot paper.

5. two intersecting lines 6. two parallel rays


6. UV
   WX 8. FG
   HY


7. ACintersecting DEat point M 10. 3 lines intersecting at point B


8. MXand CRthat do not intersect 12. NPand QL that are not parallel
