- AThe hands of a clock at 9:00 AM.
- BThe spokes of a bicycle wheel.
- CThe opposite edges of a rectangular table top.
- DThe paths of two cars turning at an intersection.
Parallel lines are lines that never meet and are always the same distance apart. The opposite edges of a rectangular table top perfectly illustrate this concept.
