Question

planes q and r are parallel. explain how you know lines a and b are skew.

Explanation:

Skew lines are non - intersecting and non - parallel. Since planes \(Q\) and \(R\) are parallel, line \(a\) (in plane \(Q\)) and line \(b\) (in plane \(R\)) cannot intersect. Also, from the figure, they are not parallel.

Answer:

Lines \(a\) and \(b\) are skew because they are non - intersecting (as planes \(Q\) and \(R\) are parallel) and non - parallel.
