Which of the figures shows parallel lines?
Parallel lines are lines that, if extended, will never meet.
In the drawings A+B+D if we extend the lines we will see that at a certain point they come together.
In drawing C, the lines will never meet, therefore they are parallel lines.
Which of the diagrams contain parallel lines?
Imagine extending both lines far beyond what you see. If they would never touch or cross, they're parallel! Parallel lines always go in the exact same direction.
Parallel lines never meet and go in the same direction. Perpendicular lines meet at exactly 90° (right angles). They're completely different!
Yes! Vertical lines that are side-by-side are parallel because they go in the same direction (straight up and down) and never meet.
That might be a visual trick! True parallel lines maintain constant distance between them. If lines actually get closer, they will eventually meet and are not parallel.
Option C shows two vertical lines that are side-by-side. Since they both go straight up and down in the same direction, they will never meet - making them parallel!
