Question
Give a definition of the following term. Are there other terms that need to be defined first? What are they, and how might you define them?
parallel lines
Solution
If the perpendicular distance between two lines is always constant, then these are called parallel lines. In other words, the lines which never intersect each other are called parallel lines.
To define parallel lines, we must know about the points, lines, and the distance between the lines and the point of intersection.

Read the following two statements which are taken as axioms:
- If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are not equal.
