Line 1:

The '''[[distance]] between two [[Parallel (geometry)|parallel]] [[Line (geometry)|lines]]''' in the [[plane (geometry)|plane]] is the minimum distance between any two points lying on the lines. It equals the [[perpendicular]] distance from any [[Point (geometry)|point]] on one line to the other line.l

In the case of non-parallel coplanar [[Line–line intersection|intersecting lines]], the distance between them is zero.

For non-parallel and non-coplanar lines ([[skew lines]]) no
