Understanding Lines: Parallel, Skew, and Perpendicular

The video tutorial explains the differences between parallel, skew, and perpendicular lines. Parallel lines are coplanar and never intersect, while skew lines are non-coplanar and also do not intersect. Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles. The video also covers transversal lines, which intersect parallel lines and create various angle relationships, such as alternate interior and exterior angles, corresponding angles, and vertical angles. The tutorial concludes with examples of line relationships in geometric figures, illustrating how to identify parallel, skew, and perpendicular lines.

What is the main difference between parallel and skew lines?

• Both parallel and skew lines are non-coplanar.

• Parallel lines are coplanar, skew lines are not.

• Skew lines are coplanar, parallel lines are not.

• Parallel lines intersect, skew lines do not.
