*Questions and Answers*
What problems would there be in your picture if the lines were not parallel?
-There would just be rocks and since the picture has train tracks, if the tracks were not parallel then the train would not be able to go down that way because the tracks help the train travel so, without the tracks the train won't travel.
Are the lines cut by a transversal?
-No, the train tracks are not cut by a transversal, which is a line cutting through the parallel lines.
Explain how the lines in the picture are parallel.
-The lines in the picture are parallel because the lines are going in the same direction and they are in exact distance apart by looking at the picture.
Can you identify any angles in your picture? If so, what kind?
-Yes, right angles.
How do you prove lines parallel?
-You could look at, if any, the alternate interior angles and the corresponding angle's measurement.
