Skew Lines


Skew lines are found all over the world. The photograph above is a real world example of a picture of a water fountain with skew lines in it. The two skew lines displayed above are skew because they are not parallel and lie in two different planes so they wil never intersect each other. The water fountain froze because it got too cold. When the water fountain froze the water created a bunch of parallel lines all around it. Although this water fountain is not vital to this town it makes it look much better. The bricks in this picture are put together in a pattern creating a bunch of lines. If these bricks were not put together in this way then the sidewalk would not be able to be built.
