Question

need help with part b...im not sure about what skew lines are...

Answer 1

Neither am I....however a quick google search gave "In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel"

Answer 2

I dont see any in the diagram like that o.O

Answer 3

I'm not sure if this counts...but the fact that the top of the net cannot "physically" intersect with either lines 'k' or 'm' ...but they sure as heck aren't parallel

Answer 4

:/ o.o they look parallel though :/

Answer 5

Which look parallel?

I was talking about line 'q' cannot physically intersect with line 'm' ....or line 'k' in that sense

Not too sure if that counts however

Answer 6

skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel.

Answer 7

that's in 3d geometry ... an example would be the pair of lines through opposite edges for the regular tetrahedron

Answer 8

im confused .-.

Answer 9

Okay so here's what I'm thinking

Since Line 'q' is elevated above the ground...that means that neither lines 'k' nor 'm' can physically intersect it

So since they cannot intersect it, nor are they parallel to it...I would have classified lines 'q' and 'k' or 'q' and 'm' as skew lines

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Answer 10

we have to think in 3-dimension for this tennis court. (ugh I never paid attention to this stuff last semester)

Answer 11

@johnweldon1993 I think thats correct .....

Answer 12

Q and K

Answer 13

Right, since we are thinking about 3d...take into account that the net extends into the z axis....since it is not physically on the same plane as either of those lines they cannot intersect it

Answer 14

go it thanks! :)
