Definition
Lines in the same plane that never intersect.
Description
Parallel lines are lines in a plane that do not meet; they are always the same distance apart. This concept is fundamental in geometry, particularly in the study of shapes, angles, and properties of polygons. For example, the opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel. Understanding parallel lines is crucial for solving problems related to angles, shapes, and coordinate geometry.
