1. Problem Description

We are given a pentagon ABCDE. We need to answer the following questions:
a) Which two line segments are parallel to each other?
b) Which two line segments are equal lengths?
c) Which two line segments are perpendicular to ABAB?

2. Solution Steps

a) Parallel lines are lines that never intersect. In the given figure, AEAE and BCBC have arrows indicating that they are parallel. So AEAE and BCBC are parallel to each other.
b) Equal length line segments are marked with single strokes. EDED and CDCD both have a single stroke indicating they have the same length. So EDED and CDCD are of equal length.
c) Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle. The figure indicates right angles at vertex AA and vertex BB. This means AEAE is perpendicular to ABAB and BCBC is perpendicular to ABAB.

3. Final Answer

a) AEAE and BCBC are parallel to each other.
b) EDED and CDCD are of equal length.
c) AEAE and BCBC are perpendicular to ABAB.
