Dear Mr. Alexander Bogomolny
At dinner, one evening, my father asked us if Parallel Lines ever meet.
I, and my college-educated siblings replied that Parallel Lines never meet. Further, that by definition, Parallel Lines are precisely the same distance apart, at any point on the lines.
My father claims that Parallel Lines intersect at "infinity."
Could you kindly settle this debate? Your reply is greatly appreciated!!
Sincerely,
Steven J. Buchbinder
