What are mutually skew lines in space?
Click to flip
Mutually skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel.
Click to flip
What defines two lines as parallel in space?
Click to flip
Two lines are parallel in space if they lie in the same plane and do not intersect.
Click to flip
Describe intersecting lines in space.
Click to flip
Intersecting lines in space are lines that meet at a single point.
Click to flip
How can you determine if two lines are skew?
Click to flip
Lines are skew if they do not intersect and are not parallel, meaning they do not lie in the same plane.
Click to flip
What is a plane in terms of line placement?
Click to flip
A plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface where any two points on it can be connected by a straight line lying entirely within the surface.
Click to flip
Can two lines be both parallel and intersecting?
Click to flip
No, two lines cannot be both parallel and intersecting.
Click to flip
What is the rule for two lines to be considered coplanar?
Click to flip
Two lines are considered coplanar if they lie in the same plane.
Click to flip
What typical relation do intersecting lines form?
Click to flip
Intersecting lines typically form angles at the point where they meet.
Click to flip
How do you classify two lines that are not coplanar?
Click to flip
Two lines that are not coplanar are classified as skew lines.
Click to flip
Explain the difference between parallel and perpendicular lines.
Click to flip
Parallel lines never meet and are equidistant apart, while perpendicular lines intersect at a 90-degree angle.
Click to flip
When can two lines be considered neither parallel nor intersecting?
Click to flip
Two lines can be neither parallel nor intersecting if they are skew lines, lying in different planes.
Click to flip
What is meant by the term 'line segment'?
Click to flip
A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.
Click to flip
What is the significance of the point of intersection?
Click to flip
The point of intersection is the point where two or more lines meet or cross each other.
Click to flip
Can skew lines be in the same plane?
Click to flip
No, skew lines cannot be in the same plane; they are non-parallel lines that do not intersect and are not coplanar.
Click to flip
What real-world structure exemplifies skew lines?
Click to flip
Ramps with staircases in modern architecture or bridges often exemplify skew lines.
