Math Problem Statement
Think of each segment in the diagram as part of a line. Complete the statement with parallel, skew, or perpendicular. The segments and planes involved are \(\overline{AB}\) and \(\overline{FB}\), \(\overline{CD}\) and \(\overline{EF}\), \(\overline{GH}\) and \(\overline{AE}\), plane CDH and plane ABF, plane GEF and plane AEG.
Solution
The image shows a geometric problem involving a rectangular prism. You need to determine the relationship between line segments or planes, specifically whether they are parallel, skew, or perpendicular.
Let's analyze the statements one by one:
-
and are:
- These two line segments are perpendicular because is vertical, and is horizontal.
-
and are:
- These segments are parallel because they are on opposite sides and run in the same direction.
-
and are:
- These segments are skew because they are not parallel and do not intersect, existing in different planes.
-
Plane and plane are:
- These planes are perpendicular because the vertical side and horizontal base meet at a right angle.
-
Plane and plane are:
- These planes are perpendicular since one plane is a vertical face, and the other is a horizontal top face of the prism.

Tip: To determine if lines are skew, check if they lie in different planes and do not intersect.
