Almost Parallel...


Over spring break I got to go to Mexico and see some amazing sunsets. When I was looking back on the pictures of my vacation and found this, I noticed that the point where the sand and the water come together looked almost parallel to the horizon line. If two lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. When I measured out the angles, I found that they were very close but not completely congruent. So although it looks parallel just by looking at it, it's not quite. (~JC2)
