Question 934665: Please Help!! Not sure how to explain the answer.
A linkage is a system of rods and joints used to transmit motion. A four-bar linkage in which opposite links are of equal length is called a parallel-motion linkage. Using the following diagram, explain why the connecting link will always move in such a way that it is parallel to the fixed link.

An example of this kind of linkage is the rod on the wheels of a locomotive. In this case, the two wheels take the place of the driving link and the driven link.
