But to do the tasks correctly, your brain is fundamentally making a series of comparisons, incorporating visual and haptic sensory information. The key here is that the white space of the cards prevents you from putting the two lines exactly next to each other.
What if you just hold the cars facing each other so the lines are just short of touching? Then you can see the lines pretty much side-by-side.
Yes, I am smarter than a fifth grader.

One card is used to form the right angle and the other is used to slide up to see which line end it reaches first. Or if you could get a good shadow you may be able to do it with just one other card with the 2 comparison cards aligned and the shadow card tilting down. Edit: Or just use table corner. 2 cards along edge and line drawing card on other edge.
