1. Problem Description

The problem asks to determine whether each of the given statements describes parallel lines or perpendicular lines.
a) They meet at a right angle.
b) They are always the same distance apart.
c) They never meet.

2. Solution Steps

a) Lines that meet at a right angle are called perpendicular lines. A right angle measures 90 degrees.
b) Lines that are always the same distance apart are called parallel lines. They never intersect.
c) Lines that never meet can be either parallel or skew. Since the problem refers to 2D geometry, the lines that never meet are parallel lines.

3. Final Answer

a) Perpendicular lines
b) Parallel lines
c) Parallel lines
