Identify Parallel, Perpendicular, and Skew Lines and Planes

Name a line parallel to AD.

The difference between parallel lines and skew lines is parallel lines lie in the same plane while skew lines lie in different planes but still never intersect.

• EH

• AB

• DC

• HG

Are lines j and k skew?

• yes

• no

Lines that are not in the same plane, that are not parallel, and do not intersect.

• Parallel Lines

• Skew Lines

• Parallel Planes

• Corresponding Angles

Name a line that is SKEW with line HG

• line CG

• line EF

• line AD

• line EH
