Solution
Left side figure shows the sum of two interior angles = 132° + 48° = 180° because the sum of two interior angles on the same side of a transversal line n is 180°, thus l || m.
Right side figure shows the sum of two interior angles = 73° + 106° = 179° ≠ 180° because the sum of two interior angles on the same side of a transversal line r is not equal to 180°, thus p is not parallel to q.
