Can someone help me out with #25 im not sure about this one because they dont share any common points... http://prntscr.com/8attdu @zepdrix :)

hero (hero):

Maybe not any common points, but do planes PQR and UVS share any common lines or segments?

pooja195 (pooja195):

No they dont.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

look at the square that contains PQR not just those 3 points.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

same with UVS

pooja195 (pooja195):

I take that back... U and Q are lines right?

pooja195 (pooja195):

*a line

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

PQR = PQRS QUV=QUVS

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what do they have in common?

pooja195 (pooja195):

S

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

and?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

@pooja195 Keep in mind that just like a line is infinite in both directions, a plane is an infinite flat surface. Plane UVS is being called plane UVS to show you that these three points are in the plane. The plane extends up and down and right and left infinitely.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Q

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Every point on the front surface of the prism is part of plane UVS.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The same goes for plane PQR. Every point on the right face of the prism is part of plane PQR.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In addition, when planes do intersect, their intersection is a line.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

right they share QS in common
