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.
Will non parallel lines intersect?
If the 2 lines lie in the same plane, and they are not parallel, then they will intersect at some point. If the 2 lines are skew lines, then they are not in the same plane, and they will not intersect (but they are Not Parallel)
What is an antonym for skew lines?
Parallel Lines - Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and do not lie in the same plane. If two lines lie in the same plane they they must either intersect or they are parallel.
When are two lines in intersecting planes skew?
Each line can either intersect the edge which is common to the two planes at some point or be parallel to it. If the two lines intersect the edge, but at different points, then the lines are skew. If only one of the lines intersects the edge, then again the lines are skew. If neither of them intersect, then the two lines are parallel to the same edge and so they are parallel to one another so not skew.
Are two skew lines ever parallel?
They could be if they are both skew to the same line.
