Question

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 non - parallel and non - intersecting lines in 3 - D space and by definition, they cannot lie in the same plane. Parallel lines lie in the same plane, perpendicular lines either intersect or are in the same plane in 3 - D (in the case of skew - perpendicular lines, there is a plane perpendicular to one line that contains the other), and skew lines are distinct from lines that can lie in the same plane.

Answer:

C. Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane.
