Skew lines can simply be described as two lines that are not coplanar (they are not in the same plane). This means that they do not intersect and are not parallel.

Which definition best describes skew lines?

Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel, existing in different planes. Unlike parallel lines, which maintain a constant distance apart, skew lines are positioned in such a way that they cannot be coplanar. This characteristic makes them distinct in three-dimensional space.


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


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.
