Parallel lines are lines that are always the same distance apart and never touch.

These lines travel in the same direction.

Parallel lines can be found in different shapes, including squares.

The opposite sides of squares are parallel because no matter how each pair of opposite sides are stretched, they always remain a constant distance apart.

This means that the base of the SQUARE-based pyramid will have the opposite sides parallel.

Therefore, from our diagram, we have:


\begin{gathered} ED\mleft\Vert BC\mright? \\ DC\mleft\Vert EB\mright? \end{gathered}

Triangles do not have parallel sides. This means that the lateral edges are not parallel since they are made up of triangles.
