Question
in the cube shown below, which lines are intersecting?
\\( \overleftrightarrow { o s } \\) and \\( \overleftrightarrow { u v } \\)
\\( \overleftrightarrow { q u } \\) and \\( \overleftrightarrow { o p } \\)
\\( \overleftrightarrow { p t } \\) and \\( \overleftrightarrow { t u } \\)
\\( \overleftrightarrow { q r } \\) and \\( \overleftrightarrow { s t } \\)
Step1: Recall the definition of intersecting lines
Intersecting lines are lines that meet at a common point.
Step2: Analyze each pair
- For \(\overleftrightarrow{OS}\) and \(\overleftrightarrow{UV}\): These lines are parallel (in a cube, opposite edges are parallel), so they do not intersect.
- For \(\overleftrightarrow{QU}\) and \(\overleftrightarrow{OP}\): These lines are skew (not in the same plane and not parallel), so they do not intersect.
- For \(\overleftrightarrow{PT}\) and \(\overleftrightarrow{TU}\): These lines meet at point \(T\), so they intersect.
- For \(\overleftrightarrow{QR}\) and \(\overleftrightarrow{ST}\): These lines are skew (not in the same plane and not parallel), so they do not intersect.
