Answer 1

Skew lines

Explanation:

Skew lines are two straight lines in three dimensional space that are neither parallel nor do they intersect Examples of skew lines are the front sidewalk and a line that goes along one of the top edges of the house, or lines that connecting opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron
