Can an triangle have 2 parallel lines?

NO! It just ain't happening! Two parallel lines will never meet (theoretically and by definition) and therefore have no way to complete the necessary configuration to complete the definition of a "regular" triangle. Three straight lines with three internal angles, all lines completing a three sided polygon. Unless one is using some of that "FUZZY-WEIRD" Euclid math, it just don't work in a "real" world!
