what are skew lines and an ex. please?

hero (hero):

In solid geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. -Source: Wikipedia

OpenStudy (cherylim23):

Skewed lines have no intersection but are not parallel. Given two equations, z1=x1+(b-a)y1 and z2 = x2+(c-d)y2, the lines are skewed if the dot product (x1-x2).(b-a)*(c-d) is not equal to zero

thank you very much hero and cherylim23 =)

the way i picture them are 2 lines that lay on 2 parallel planes. But the lines themselves aren't parallel just the planes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any line that are on the plane
