Geometric Analysis: Identifying Parallel Lines in Multiple Figures

Question

Which of the figures shows parallel lines?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Which lines are parallel?
00:02 Parallel lines never intersect
00:05 In this example, the lines intersect
00:11 In this one too
00:17 And in this one too
00:23 In this example, the lines never intersect and therefore are parallel
00:32 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

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.
