What is the definition of parallel lines in space?
Click to flip
Parallel lines in space are lines that are always the same distance apart and will never intersect.
Click to flip
What are intersecting lines?
Click to flip
Intersecting lines are lines that cross each other at a single point.
Click to flip
What are skew lines?
Click to flip
Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel because they are in different planes.
Click to flip
Can two lines in a plane be skew lines?
Click to flip
No, skew lines cannot exist in the same plane. They only exist in three-dimensional space, in different planes.
Click to flip
What is the significance of the term 'coplanar' in geometry?
Click to flip
Coplanar refers to points or lines that lie on the same plane.
Click to flip
How do we identify skew lines in drawings of three-dimensional objects?
Click to flip
Look for lines that do not lie on the same plane and never intersect.
Click to flip
Provide an example of a real-life object with parallel lines.
Click to flip
Railway tracks are an example of parallel lines.
Click to flip
What geometric feature distinguishes skew lines from parallel lines?
Click to flip
Skew lines lie in different planes, while parallel lines lie in the same plane.
Click to flip
What is an intersecting line's point called?
Click to flip
The point where two lines cross is called the intersection point.
Click to flip
How can we describe lines in terms of their spatial arrangement?
Click to flip
Lines can be described as parallel, intersecting, or skew.
Click to flip
What visual indicator identifies parallel lines in a diagram?
Click to flip
Parallel lines won't meet even if extended infinitely and are shown with arrow marks in diagrams.
Click to flip
Why can't parallel lines intersect?
Click to flip
By definition, parallel lines never cross or meet, maintaining constant separation.
Click to flip
How do architects utilize the concept of parallel lines?
Click to flip
Architects use parallel lines for creating stable and symmetrical structures.
Click to flip
Why are skew lines challenging to visualize?
Click to flip
Skew lines require understanding three-dimensional space as they are not on the same plane.
Click to flip
Can multiple lines intersect at the same point?
Click to flip
Yes, multiple lines can intersect at a single common point.
