Assume that you have parallel lines. Using the law of detachment and the following conditional, what can you conclude? If you have parallel lines, then the lines are equidistant.

a. Parallel lines never touch.

b. The lines are equidistant.

c. You have parallel lines.

d. The lines go on forever.

Just wanted to say thanks for the help I know im asking a lot of questions but I really need help passing my test to graduate! :)

Let p be....... "parallel lines"     Let q be......"they are equidistant"

 

I believe the Law of Detachment   would go something like this :

 

1) If p, then  q

 

2) Assume p

 

3) Then, q

 

So let 1)  be......

 

"If you have parallel lines, the lines are equidistant"

 

Assume p

 

Then q follows...."They are equidistant"
