Question
Describe each pair of segments in the prism as parallel, skew, or intersecting.$\overline{A D}, \overline{B E}$
Step 1
A and D are endpoints of one of the edges of the prism, while B and E are endpoints of another edge. Since these edges are on different faces of the prism, they do not intersect. Show more…

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Proving Lines Parallel
Skew lines are lines that are neither intersecting nor parallel. They lie in different planes. In the rectangular prism at the right, $\overline{E C}$ is a diagonal of the prism because it joins two vertices that have no faces in common. So $\overline{E C}$ is skew to $\overline{A D}$. Use the rectangular prism below. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY). State whether $\overline{W R}$ and $\overline{X Y}$ are parallel, skew, or intersecting.
