Answer:

If the distance between the two lines is consistent with a compass then the lines you constructed are parallel.

Explanation:

Parallel lines:

Two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel.

The distance between the two line is consistent when checked with a compass. Because the distance between the parallel lines is always constant and they never intersect with each other.

If the distance between the two lines is consistent with a compass then the lines you constructed are parallel....
