Equidistant points from all 3 lines [closed]
Two parallel lines m,n intersected by line r, how many equidistant points can we get from all 3 lines?
I was solving the problem like this: drawing two parallel line and take a traversals r, then taking perpendicular from the line r. Not sure about the process and number of intersects.
The problem space is 2D.

Are you talking in 2D or 3D? For 2D you have 2 points, for 3D you have an infinity

Lets call our parallel lines $l, m$ and the transversal is $r$
$r$ creates angles where it intersects $l.$
If we construct the angle bisectors then points on the angle bisectors are equidistant from both $r$ and $l.$
Similarly between $r$ and $m$ we can construct the angle bisectors.
How many angle bisectors have we constructed, how many points of intersection are there?
Finally midway between $l$ and $m$ is a line parallel to both equidistant from both.
Where does this intersect the angle bisectors we have created. How many places are all 3 intersecting?

Give me a visulized form. The space is 2D.

@YeasirMohammadAkib You really should be able to do these constructions yourself. But, I am in a generous mood.
