Parallel lines are coplanar. Always Sometimes Never Not enough information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

always

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey mathematical pro .. ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer? (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry ishaan is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that's only if there are two, right? :\ If there are more than two, then it's only sometimes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe it might be sometimes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the only information i was given for the problem...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i drew a picture, posting in a sec~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, so in this picture we have my attempt at drawing a plane. There is a line in said plane. Then underneath the plane (so, not in the plane), there is another line, who is parallel to the first line. They will never intersect.

OpenStudy (aroub):

so joemath ur saying it can be sometimes??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im saying sometimes. although the question isnt very clear. Since it is referring to planes, it leads me to think we are talking about 3 dimensional space. Thats where my solutions comes from.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea joe is right ...i never thought of more then two lines ......joe is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

questions like these make us think to hard... and then get us confused. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah <.< that happens a lot when they arent worded correctly >.>

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

ALWAYS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

joe what about this plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, for every pair of parallel lines there exists a plane that captures both. I was thinking about that too.....but i dont know what this question is truly asking >.< Someone mentioned earlier about if there were more than 2 lines, then is sometimes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using my own picture against me....how rude!!! lolol jk jk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, more of my laziness
