Exercise 3 Page 518

Lines that are skew are not coplanar and do not intersect.

CG

Practice makes perfect

Lines that are skew to EF are neither coplanar with EF, nor do they intersect EF. Examining the figure, we can determine that EF is a part of two separate planes, AEF and EFG.

By the definition of skew lines, we can rule out any line that runs along either of these planes. rr AB * & AE * BF * & EH * FG * & HG * This leaves five potential skew lines. Let's mark these on the diagram.

Therefore, the lines that are skew to EF are: AD, BC, DH, DC, and CG. However, only CG contains G.
