Parallel lines are Parallel lines are infinite lines in the infinite lines in the same plane that do same plane that do not intersect. not intersect.
Note "hyperbolic" lines AB, BC, and DENote "hyperbolic" lines AB, BC, and DE Which are parallel by the above Which are parallel by the above

a third line, then the two lines are a third line, then the two lines are parallel to each other"?parallel to each other"?
