There's no such thing as "a parallel line segment". "Parallel" tells something about the

relationship between TWO line segments. If two line segments are parallel, then no

matter where you measure the distance between them, it's always the same.

A few examples of parallel lines are . . .

-the rungs of a ladder

-the sides of a ladder

-the two rails of a train track

-the top edge of a wall (where it meets the ceiling) and the bottom edge

of the same wall (where it meets the floor)

- the top and bottom edges of a ruler

- a line between the left-side wheels of a wagon and a line between the

right-side wheels of the same wagon

- 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue in New York City
