Look at the planes ABCD and EFGH shown below. Which statement is true about the two planes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is only one segment labeled PQ along which they intersect. They intersect at exactly two fixed points. There are two segments along which they intersect. They intersect at a single point.

I thought it was the second one... but it's not.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint - two planes intersect exactly in at one line segment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the First one?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, think of plane as a flat surface

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, how would the second one not be true?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then u wil see that they intersect all the way along PQ

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

second one is not correct, becoz it says they intersect ONLY at two points

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the two planes intersect all the way ALONG PQ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, I see what you mean now! Thanks...
