please help the diagram is in the comments Count the number of tick-marks on each diagonal. Diagonals with the same number of tick-marks are parallel. Measure the corresponding angles where the lines intersect the border. If the angles are congruent, the lines are parallel. The seven long diagonals are clearly not parallel. Draw a diagonal connecting the opposite corners. If it makes an angle of 45º with each long diagonal, the long diagonals are parallel.
his is the well-known Zöllner Illusion, named after Johann Zöllner who first drew the optical illusion in 1860. Which method would allow you to prove that all seven long diagonal lines are parallel
Have you thought about each of these answers? Eliminated any of them?
\(\qquad 1:\) Count the number of tick-marks on each diagonal. Diagonals with the same number of tick-marks are parallel. If this were a diagram by a mathematician for a math problem, the tick marks would have a special meaning. Arrow type and straight ticks have separate meanings. Is this a diagram by a mathematician for a math problem? If it was, what would the straight ticks mean? \(\qquad 2:\) Measure the corresponding angles where the lines intersect the border. If the angles are congruent, the lines are parallel. Simple enough directions. Did you try them, or think about them? \(\qquad 3:\) The seven long diagonals are clearly not parallel. Think about the intro to the question when examining this answer. "This is the well-known Zöllner Illusion, named after Johann Zöllner who first drew the optical illusion in 1860." \(\qquad 4:\) Draw a diagonal connecting the opposite corners. If it makes an angle of 45º with each long diagonal, the long diagonals are parallel. Simple enough directions. Did you try them, or think about them? Through these processes, two of these are instantly eliminated. Then, the other two can be looked at a little more deeply.
