Line n is perpendicular to line m. Line l is perpendicular to line m. Is it possible for line n and line l to be skew?

No. It's impossible. There's a corollary that states: If two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then the two lines are parallel.

Is it possible for two skew lines to be perpendicular?
perpendicular lines are lines that MEET at right angles (90 degrees). Skew lines are lines that dont meet at all. Even though the gradients of two skew lines can multiply to be -1 (a property of perpendicular lines) They will not really be perpendicular as they don't accually meet. This can occur when the lines are in different planes.
Real world examples of skew lines?
given a room with 4 walls Line 1: The line that is the intersection of the floor and the west wall Line 2: The line that is the intersection of the ceiling and the north wall Lines 1 & 2 are skew. they never touch yet they are not in the same plane.
If two angles are not vertical then they are not nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines?
False. The angles can be formed by two skew lines intersecting a third line.
Can two lines be coplanar always?
No. Skew lines are never coplanar. Stand in a cuboid room and consider the line where the opposite wall and the floor meet. Consider also the line where the walls behind you and to your right meet. Those two lines are not coplanar.
Can segments and rays be skew lines if they lie in skew lines?
They can be, and are, "skew". If they are not lines, they cannot be "skew lines".
What is a line segment that is intersecting but not perpendicular?
skew
Is a y a parallel line?
No, "y" is not a parallel line because the lines are not perpendicular to each other. "Y" is a skew line.
Are two lines skew to the same line are skew to each other?
Yes, but not all of them, some of them are either parallel or perpendicular.
What is a skew line segments?
Line A is skew to Line B, when line A does not intersect line B and also they are not in the same plane.
What are skew line segments?
Skew line segments are lines in space which never intersect.
What are the sixth grade geometry terms?
Line, line segment, point, skew lines, intersecting lines, perpendicular lines, that's the ones that i can think of off the top of my head
Are A line on the wall and a line on the floor are skew?
Sometimes.
Are a line and a plane that do not intersect always sometimes or never skew?
A line and a plane that do not intersect are always skew. Skew refers to two or more lines or planes that are not parallel and do not intersect. Since a line and a plane are different-dimensional objects, they will never intersect and will always be skew.
What is true about a skew line?
Answer is a skew lines do not lie in the same place
If a line is held above another line without touching or without been parallel is it skew?
Technically isn't it perpendicular? If it isn't parallel, then they will eventually touch because lines go on forever and if you were to extend it, they'd touch.
Why is there a squiggle in a line graph?
to skew somebody
Two lines skew to the same line are skew to each other?
That's true.
