**Question:** 

Explain in a complete sentence using proper vocabulary whether the lines in the picture are parallel or not.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows two lines intersected by a transversal. Angles on the same side of the transversal are marked as 112 degrees. To determine if the lines are parallel, we check if corresponding angles are equal. Here, both marked angles (112 degrees) are consecutive interior angles, and if the lines were parallel, their sum should equal 180 degrees. Since 112 + 112 ≠ 180, the lines are not parallel.
