Skew lines are a term for lines in geometry. They mean two lines that are not parallel, but do not intersect either. It is only possible in three dimensions and up.

Do skew lines intersect if they are in the same plane?
No, skew lines cannot be in the same plane, since they do not have a point on common. Two lines intersect if they lie in a common plane, and by definition, these intersecting lines are not skew lines.
How many planes can pass through a pair of skew lines?
One if the two lines meet, none otherwise. But skew lines do not lie in the same plane, by definition.
What is the term for lines that don't intersect?
Coplanar lines that don't intersect are parallel. Lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew lines.
Do lines that skew intersect?
No. Skew lines do not intersect
Do skew lines always intersect?
Skew lines never intersect. If two lines intersect, then they are known as "intersecting lines", not skew lines.
What is the definition of skew lines?
Skew lines are nonintersecting, nonparallel lines - in other words, lines that aren't part of the same plane.
Do skew lines intersect if they are in the same plane?
No, skew lines cannot be in the same plane, since they do not have a point on common. Two lines intersect if they lie in a common plane, and by definition, these intersecting lines are not skew lines.
Two noncoplanar liner that do not intersect?
They are skew line. Skew line are two lines that do not intersect but are not parallel.Another definition is skew lines are straight lines that are not in the same plane and do not intersect.Either way, skew lines are the answer to your question since they are noncoplanar and do not intersect.
How many planes can pass through a pair of skew lines?
One if the two lines meet, none otherwise. But skew lines do not lie in the same plane, by definition.
Can segments and rays be skew lines if they lie in skew lines?
They can be, and are, "skew". If they are not lines, they cannot be "skew lines".
Do lines that skew intersect?
No. Skew lines do not intersect
What is the term for lines that don't intersect?
Coplanar lines that don't intersect are parallel. Lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew lines.
Do skew lines always intersect?
Skew lines never intersect. If two lines intersect, then they are known as "intersecting lines", not skew lines.
What kind of lines don't lie in the same plane?
If they intersect they are refered to as skew lines and if the do not the term for this is that they are parallel lines.
What are skew lines?
skew lines are noncoplanar lines, which means they aren't parallel and they also don't intersect skew lines do not intersect and are not coplanar
What is a lines that lie in different planes?
There is no specific term but you could try "non-coplanar".
Can a pair of lines be both parallel and skew?
No. Parallel has a specific meaning. For lines to be parallel, they have to lie in a common plane, but not touch each other. If they are skew, they still don't touch each other, but they now do not lie in a common plane. More specifically, skew lines, by definition, are not co-planar.
