Question

question 9 of 10
which of the following is a true statement about skew lines?
a. skew lines intersect at a single point.
b. skew lines are perpendicular.
c. skew lines do not lie in the same plane.
d. skew lines are parallel.

Explanation:

Skew lines are defined as lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. Also, they do not lie in the same plane.

• Option A: Skew lines do not intersect.
• Option B: Perpendicular lines can be in the same plane (like in a coordinate plane), but skew lines are not in the same plane.
• Option D: Parallel lines lie in the same plane, skew lines do not.

Answer:

C. Skew lines do not lie in the same plane.
