A basketball has an infinite number of lines of symmetry. This is because a basketball is a perfect sphere, and any plane passing through its center will divide it into two equal halves that are symmetrical. Therefore, there are an infinite number of lines of symmetry that can be drawn on a basketball.
Real life example of parallel lines are railroad tracks and rows in a garden. Also the lines on a basketball court are parallel
The lines on a basketball court assist with the rules. The half court line indicates where the game starts. The lines on the outside indicate the out-of-bounds lines. The "arc" near the basketball goal indicate the distance that extra points can be made. The small circle near the basketball goal indicates where free-throws happen and the lines that converge from the small circle towards the basket is called the key. During free-throws, players aren't allowed inside of the key. Additionally, during regular play, offensive players can't stay in the key for longer than 3 consecutive seconds.
