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 are skrew lines?

In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of linesthrough opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron.


Do lines that skew intersect?

No. Skew lines do not intersect


Do skew lines always intersect?

Skew lines never intersect. If two lines intersect, then they are known as "intersecting lines", not skew lines.


What are skew lines?

skew lines are noncoplanar lines, which means they aren't parallel and they also don't intersect skew lines do not intersect and are not coplanar


What is a skew line?

In solid geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect but are not parallel. Equivalently, they are lines that are not both in the same plane. A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron (or other non-degenerate tetrahedron). Lines that are coplanar either intersect or are parallel, so skew lines exist only in three or more dimensions.


Are skew lines in the same plane?

No. Skew lines must be in different planes. Skew lines have no common points (they never cross).


Are parallel lines also called skew lines?

No. Skew lines are lines in different planes that are parallel.


Are skew lines never parallel?

Correct! Skew lines can never by be parallel.


Do skew lines intersect?

SKEW LINES are neither parallel nor intersecting.


Are skew lines parallel?

No. If they are parallel, then a plane exists which both lines lie in. Skew lines can not be on the same plane.


Can skew lines cross?

Skew lines can refer to non-coplanar lines and, if that is the case, they cannot cross.
