Okay XD I"m so not liking this math. :b My mom is currently looking for a math tutor for me, but until then..... ;P Pleas help XD - "Explain three ways of proving that two lines are parallel. (Do NOT just list out theorems or postulates. Full sentences and explanations are expected.)"

OpenStudy (ineedhelpfast12):

graph them. If they never meet, they are parellel. this is one way

lol thanks :)

other ways are these. prove that the two lines are equidistant at all points if you have two right angled transversals 2) Prove that the interior angles or any other corresponding angles are equal and then show that the lines are parallel 3) Show that lines perpendicular from the same line are parallel to each other 4) Lines parallel to the same line are also parallel to each other. 5) I am not sure about this one but anyways- Construct two transversals parallel to each other and bisecting the lines. Then prove that as the two transversals are parallel then the corresponding angles(interior exterior etc.) are also equal. then you can prove that opposite sides add to 180°. Then prove that the figure is a parallelogram and that opposite sides are parallel to each other.
