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.

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.
Two lines in intersecting planes are skew.?
Two lines in two intersecting planes can be parallel, intersecting, or skew.
Are two lines that do not intersect skew?
Two lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew. If the non-intersecting lines are in the same plane then they are parallel.
What are two lines that do not lie in the same plane and do not intersect?
skew lines
What is Perpendicular and Parallel?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.
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.
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 the definition of the term skew lines?
Skew lines are a term for lines in geometry. They mean two lines that are not parallel, but do not intersect either. It is only possible in three dimensions and up.
Do skew lines always intersect?
Skew lines never intersect. If two lines intersect, then they are known as "intersecting lines", not skew lines.
Can two intersecting diagonal lines be perpendicular?
Obviously it can.The type of lines that are perpendicular but do not intersect are known as 'Skew' lines. These can be better understood by using vectors in three-dimensional.I have reason to think that you yourself, do not know what your asking for and therefore I must tell you this. 90degrees= perpendicular.
Two noncoplanar liner that do not intersect?
They are skew line. Skew line are two lines that do not intersect but are not parallel.Another definition is skew lines are straight lines that are not in the same plane and do not intersect.Either way, skew lines are the answer to your question since they are noncoplanar and do not intersect.
Two lines in intersecting planes are skew.?
Two lines in two intersecting planes can be parallel, intersecting, or skew.
Are two lines that do not intersect skew?
Two lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew. If the non-intersecting lines are in the same plane then they are parallel.
Two noncoplanar lines that do not intersect?
skew lines
What is the geometric symbol for skew lines?
Two non-parallel lines in space that do not intersect are called skew lines. The skew line symbol is a short horizontal bar above the two identifying letters.
What are lines that are not parallel or perpendicular?
In two dimensions the lines would be intersecting lines not perpendicular (I believe this is called transversal, see related link). If you are in three dimensions they would be skew lines, like to jets crossing above you that don't hit each other. One is higher than the other.
Do skew lines intersect if they are in the same plane?
No, skew lines cannot be in the same plane, since they do not have a point on common. Two lines intersect if they lie in a common plane, and by definition, these intersecting lines are not skew lines.
