Question

question 10 of 10
which of the following is a true statement about skew lines?
a. skew lines are parallel.
b. skew lines are perpendicular.
c. skew lines cannot lie in the same plane.
d. skew lines can lie in the same plane.

Explanation:

Skew lines are defined as lines in three-dimensional space that do not intersect and are not parallel, which means they cannot be contained within a single plane. Options A is false because parallel lines are not skew, option B is false as skew lines do not have to be perpendicular, and option D directly contradicts the definition of skew lines.

Answer:

C. Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane.
