Question
- determine if each statement is sometimes, always, or never true.
two lines that intersect in one point are a sometimes b always c never coplanar.
two lines that never intersect are a sometimes b always c never coplanar.
First Statement
Step1: Analyze the nature of intersecting lines
If two lines intersect at a point, then by the definition of coplanar (lying on the same plane), we can construct a plane that contains both lines. So two lines that intersect in one point are always coplanar.
Second Statement
Step1: Consider different cases of non - intersecting lines
Parallel lines (which are non - intersecting) are coplanar. But skew lines (non - intersecting and non - parallel) are not coplanar. So two lines that never intersect are sometimes coplanar.
