This article is about a mathematical relationship between lines. For other uses, see Parallel (disambiguation). "Parallel lines" redirects here. For other uses, see Parallel lines (disambiguation). Line art drawing of parallel lines and curves.

In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. By extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional Euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel. However, two lines in three-dimensional space which do not meet must be in a common plane to be considered parallel; otherwise they are called skew lines. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet.

Parallel lines are the subject of Euclid's parallel postulate.[1] Parallelism is primarily a property of affine geometries and Euclidean geometry is a special instance of this type of geometry. In some other geometries, such as hyperbolic geometry, lines can have analogous properties that are referred to as parallelism.

Find the value of z in the figure below.<br>.​
zzz [600]

answer

z = 100

opposite angles

when inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles of a quadrilateral add up to 180

so z + 80 = 180 and y + 120 = 180

solve for z

z + 80 = 180

z = 180 - 80

z = 100
