Geometric Analysis: Identifying Parallel Lines in Multiple Line Sets

Question

Determine which lines are parallel to one another?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Which of the lines are parallel?
00:03 Parallel lines never intersect
00:07 In all examples 1-3 the lines intersect
00:13 In this example the lines never intersect therefore they are parallel
00:20 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's remember that parallel lines are lines that, if extended, will never intersect.

In diagrams a'+b'+c', all the lines intersect with each other at a certain point, except for diagram d'.

The lines drawn in answer d' will never intersect.
