Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we are asked to identify three line segments that are parallel to line based on the given 3D figure. The figure appears to be a rectangular prism, with some lines parallel and perpendicular to each other.
Steps to solve:
-
Identify the line segment :
- is one of the horizontal edges of the rectangular prism, located at the bottom right corner, connecting points and .
-
Determine the other parallel segments:
- In a rectangular prism, the edges parallel to will be other horizontal edges of the same length and orientation.
- Therefore, segments that run horizontally across the prism, on the same level as , are the ones parallel to it.
-
Parallel segments:
- : This is the horizontal edge directly on the opposite side of , connecting points and .
- : The top horizontal edge, running parallel to , connecting points and .
- : The top horizontal edge on the opposite side from , connecting points and .
Answer:
The three segments parallel to are .
Thus, the correct choice is: A) .
