I wish you were my High School geometry teacher, I could have faked a better grade. Perpendicular is a right angle to, in this case, the boundary line.

Parallel is equal distance between lines.

You're wrong about B. They are entitled to that space as long as they don't displace A. Wedge may have been the wrong word. I don't know NCAA rules but I'd bet a shiny new quarter that you're wrong.
