Question

what is the relationship between lines a and b? a b a ? b neither, they are skew lines

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of parallel lines

If two lines are both perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel.

Step2: Analyze the given lines

Line \(a\) and line \(b\) are both perpendicular to line \(c\).
So, by the property of parallel lines, line \(a\) is parallel to line \(b\).

Answer:

\(\parallel\)
