Skew Lines

Skew lines in a math dictionary are defined as,  two lines in space that do not intersect and are not parallel. For this to be true, the two lines must be on different planes and traveling different directions. In the real world, skew lines are seen all over the place. Skew lines are practically in every 3 dimensional figure. Buildings, chairs, and even goal posts (as shown above) contain skew lines. Skew lines are a very basic geometric idea in architecture that lead to the creation of many different figures. Because of this, skew lines have a very great impact on our modern world.
