Suppose two planes intersect. Which of these could be the intersection? A. a point B. a line segment C. a line D. an angle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: think of a book and how the two covers (front and back) are connected

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B or D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im mostly going with D tbh

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

a picture may help you see this |dw:1392228273132:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

however, imagine the planes extend infinitely in all directions (ie each plane is like a piece of paper with an infinite amount of area)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it could be B?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

close, but like I said, the planes extend infinitely in all directions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k so im between A and D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know its not C or B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So that line segment is really a line |dw:1392228489116:dw| a plane is a flat piece of paper (that doesn't bend at all) and there are no boundaries or limits

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Notice how each plane extends infinitely in all directions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooooooh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there all lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, two planes intersect to form a line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @jim_thompson5910
