Planes T and X are parallel. Plane T contains line a. Plane X contains line b.

Question

Planes T and X are parallel. Plane T contains line a and plane X contains line b.







Which best explains the relationship between lines a and b?

They are skew and will never intersect.
They are parallel and will never intersect.
They are perpendicular and will intersect.
They will intersect at two points.

Answer 1

Since planes T and X are parallel, and line a is contained in plane T while line b is contained in plane X, lines a and b cannot intersect at any point.

The correct relationship between lines a and b is:

They are skew and will never intersect.

Skew lines are lines that are not parallel and do not intersect, which is the correct description for lines that lie in parallel planes.
