Parallel or Not?
These are bricks arranged in a pattern to create the back walls of a fireplace. I wanted to see if the lines were exactly parallel. However, the alternate interior angles are not congruent, meaning that according to my GSP diagram, the edges of the brick are not congruent. Also notice that to make this pattern, the bricks have to be exactly 2x longer than they are wide... (TF2)
