Given $4$ lines in the plane such that there are not $2$ parallel to each other or no $3$ concurrent, we consider the following $ 8$ segments: in each line we have $2$ consecutive segments determined by the intersections with the other three lines. Prove that: a) The lengths of the $ 8$ segments cannot be the numbers $1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8$ in some order. b) The lengths of the $ 8$ segments can be $ 8$ different integers.
