Answer:

They are skew lines.

Explanation:

Which statement is true about lines a and b?

They are parallel lines.

They are perpendicular lines.

They are skew lines.

They will intersect.

As they both are in different directions they are skew lines .

Skew lines are not parallel neither they .They are also not co planar i.e they lie in different planes.

We have two plane Q and R . We have two line a and b on the different planes Q and R. Both planes are parallel but the lines a and b are in different directions. Therefore they are skew lines . They do not intersect and are also not parallel neither co planar.

Planes Q and R are parallel. Lines a and b are shown on planes Q and R, respectively-example-1
