They are called skew lines. Explanation: In 3 space, parallel lines must never intersect AND must be in the same plane. If they fail to intersect and are in different planes we call them skew lines.

When are two lines nonintersecting?

When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.


What is the definition of skew lines?

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

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.


Lines that lie in different planes are called what?

Skew lines.


How do you draw a line that intersects two nonintersecting planes?

If the planes are non-intersecting, then they're parallel. Any line that intersects one of them intersects both of them.


What are two lines that are in different planes that do not intersect called?

Is it true that two lines that lie in different parallel planes must be skew lines?

Yes, it is true that two lines that lie in different parallel planes must be skew lines. Skew lines are defined as lines that are not parallel and do not intersect, and since the lines in different parallel planes cannot meet or be parallel to each other, they fit this definition. Therefore, they are considered skew lines.


Do points lie on lines that are in planes?

Not necessarily. Points may lie in different planes.


Are parallel lines also called skew lines?

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


Lines in different planes that are neither parallel nor intersecting?

Skew Lines. :)
