OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Connie1 I'll ask you something and it'll help you understand this problem. Are you here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah . . .

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Ok supposedly you are in a room, in front of you is a wall. Can you see it?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

See the left edge of that wall it's a vertical line, it's like DE in your problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand anything . . . can you just give me the answer??? :D

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Connie1 just answer won't help you. It's quiet easy just see the wall in front of you. Focus on the left edge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ash2326 I understand that you believe in no cheating, but I do not have time for this . . . I am not trying to be rude . . . all I want is the answer

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Connie1 it'll take not more than 5 minutes. And then you'll always remember this. You'd be able to solve every problem like this. Please I insist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fine. But please hurry

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Ok Are you in a room? Focus on the wall in front of you. See its left edge Are you seeing it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (ash2326):

It's DE in your question!!! You get this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Ok now look at the wall behind you and focus on its top edge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Are you focusing on it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (ash2326):

That's AB from your question, We saw two edges, Do you think they are intersecting?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Are they parallel to each other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Do you think they have any point common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO

OpenStudy (ash2326):

So they will never meet, will they?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah . . . so the answer is D.

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Yeah, now look at the figure given in your question. AB and DE seems familiar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to go . . . this one question took more than 5 min

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Sorry @Connie1 But I believe you understood it, didn't you?
