Skew lines are nonintersecting, nonparallel lines - in other words, lines that aren't part of the same plane.

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".
Can a pair of lines be both parallel and skew?
No. Parallel has a specific meaning. For lines to be parallel, they have to lie in a common plane, but not touch each other. If they are skew, they still don't touch each other, but they now do not lie in a common plane. More specifically, skew lines, by definition, are not co-planar.
Do skew lines intersect?
SKEW LINES are neither parallel nor intersecting.
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 are lines that are not coplanar?
they are skew lines.
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.
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.
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.
How many planes can pass through a pair of skew lines?
One if the two lines meet, none otherwise. But skew lines do not lie in the same plane, by definition.
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".
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
Can a pair of lines be both parallel and skew?
No. Parallel has a specific meaning. For lines to be parallel, they have to lie in a common plane, but not touch each other. If they are skew, they still don't touch each other, but they now do not lie in a common plane. More specifically, skew lines, by definition, are not co-planar.
When are skew lines coplanar?
Never! Coplanar means that the two lines lie in the same two-dimensional plane. The only way that two lines do not intersect in two-dimensional space is if they are parallel. And by definition, skew lines are not allowed to be parallel, either.So essentially there is no such thing as skew lines that only occupy two dimensions. Skew lines must be in three dimensions or higher in order to (1) not intersect and (2) not be parallel with each other.
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.
