Question

Which of the diagrams contain parallel lines?

AB

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:03 Let's find out which lines are parallel.
00:06 If the angles in matching positions are equal, then those lines are parallel.
00:12 And that's how we solve this problem, great job!

Step-by-Step Solution

In drawing B, we observe two right angles, which teaches us that they are practically equal. From this, we can conclude that they are corresponding angles, located at the intersection of two parallel lines.

In drawing A, we only see one right angle, so we cannot deduce that the two lines are parallel.

Answer

B
