8. In the picture below, which line segment is skew to $\overleftrightarrow{B C}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the line segment BC
In the given cube, locate the line segment BC. It is the top edge of the front face of the cube.
Step 2: Understand the concept of skew lines
Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. They are not in the same plane.
Step 3: Identify a line segment skew to BC
Look for a line segment that does not lie in the same plane as BC and does not intersect with BC. In this case, line segment HG is skew to BC because it is on the opposite face of the cube and does not intersect or run parallel to BC.
