A SKEW angle is a line or edge which is not parallel to, or not at right angles to lines or edges which are adjacent to it.. In the case of a nail driven into a piece of wood, the nail is driven in at any angle to the wood surface, which is NOT 90 degrees. When we say that something is 'askew' we mean that it's edge or surface is out of alignment or not in line with 2 edges or 2 surfaces which are adjacent to . Carpenters drive nails into wood at a skew angle quite often. The nail driven into the corners of a picture frame, where the pieces touch each other at a mitre joint, are usually driven in at a skew angle so as to connect the 2 pieces together. Roof rafters are always 'skew nailed' to the timber on the top of the wall frame. They do this because you cannot buy nails 150mm long , and thin enough to be driven in vertically without splitting the rafter and damaging it. Long thin nails also bend too easily and are useless

What is difference between skew binomial and symmetric binomial distribution?
The skew binomial distribution arises when the probability of a particular event is not a half.
How do you tell if a box plot has positive or negative skew?
If there are many big numbers and some outliers it is negative but the opposite is positive
What type of angle is a 120 degree angle?
A 120 degree angle is an obtuse angle. This means that the angle is between 90 and 180 degrees.
How do you know if an angle is an acute angle?
An angle is acut if the internal measurement (the smallest one) is less then, but not equal to, 90 degrees. If the angle is 90 degrees, it is a right angle. If it is greater then 90 degrees, it is obtuse.
How much is an acute angle?
Any angle which is less than 90 degrees is an acute angle.
What is a skew angle in geometry?
Skew lines are non-coplanar, which means they are in different planes. Skew lines are in different planes and they do not intersect.
What Does Skew Mean Mathematically?
To turn or place at an angle.
What is the difference between stretch and skew?
skew option : it changes the angle of the image. stretch option:it resizes the image
Are skew lines perpendicular?
No, skew lines are not perpendicular. Perpendicular lines intersect at an angle of ninety degrees, while skew lines never intersect (think in three dimensions or higher).
Is the letter T a skew line intersecting lines right angle?
No.
What is formed by two rays called?
Skew lines, parallel lines or an angle.
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".
Where is the world's most skewed arch bridge?
Skew arch bridges of up to 45 degrees are not uncommon and many even exceed that figure. There's a helicoidal skew arch in the U.K. that was built of stone in 1830 to carry the Haggerleazes branch of the Stockton & Darlington Railway over the River Gaunless, which has a skew angle of 63 degrees. In other words, instead of crossing the river at the normal 90 degrees, the railway and river cross at 27 degrees. (90 - 27 = 63) There's a skew arch bridge built to a different principle (it's called a ribbed skew arch) in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK that carries the Midland Main Line across Southdown Road at an angle of only 25 degrees, giving the bridge a skew angle of 65 degrees. That's the most skewed arch bridge I know of but there may well be others and if so I'd like to know. (Reference: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_arch)
An angle is made of any two rays is it correct?
No, it is not correct. In 2-dimensional (plane) and 3-dimensional (solid) geometry, parallel lines do not make an angle. In 3-d space skew lines also do not make an angle in the conventional sense.
How much is skewing angle in three phase induction motor?
the skew angle varies from 0 degrees, depending on how much torque you want at near synchronous speed and how smoothly you want to transition with varying loads most motors all the shorting bars are parallel to shaft. skew is more often for lower current starting in motors that will turn on an off a lot
What is a skew plane?
There is no such thing as a skew plane - in isolation. It can only be skew with reference to something else.
Do lines that skew intersect?
No. Skew lines do not intersect
