Coplanar Lines. Coplanar Lines are lines which lie on the same plane. Two parallel lines or two intersecting lines always lie in a plane. Thus, two line are coplanar, if and only if they are either parallel or intersecting. Lines in three dimensional space are coplanar, only if they are not skewed lines. Two lines which are neither parallel nor intersecting are called skewed lines.
Using Cross-Product and Vectors to find the distance between parallel lines ? Sep 11, 2011 #1. Given the following two lines, prove that they are parallel, then find the distance between them... (I have circled in red the two parts of the answer which I don't understand. Namely, why are they using the cross-product here, doesn't that give you a value perpendicular to the lines, hence a new vector that is on the parallel planes of the lines? The second part I highlighted I have no idea why they chose this.)
