Parallel Lines

curve sign

It's time to practice, look at the picture of the caution sign above. It's in the shape of a diamond. How many sets of parallel lines do you see?

If you guessed two sets, you are exactly right. If we rotate the diamon on it's side, it becomes a square. A square has two sets of parallel lines. The hortizonal set and the vertical set.
