Perry observes the opposite, parallel walls of a room. In how many lines do the planes containing the walls intersect? 2 0 1 3

OpenStudy (danjs):

each wall is a plane in 3-space

OpenStudy (danjs):

they are parallel to each other

OpenStudy (help_people):

oh ok 3? i htought it was 2 for some reason. Wonder why I was thinking htat.

OpenStudy (danjs):

what , 3 lines of intersection of the planes?

OpenStudy (danjs):

the walls are parallel, a plane will contain each wall those will never intersect

OpenStudy (danjs):

like take the lines x=1 and x=2, and let z be any value, you have two parallel planes

OpenStudy (help_people):

oh so 3 is nto the asnwer

OpenStudy (help_people):

so 2 was rgigt?

OpenStudy (danjs):

2 planes have the possibility of intersecting. If they do , the intersection is a Line. Here the planes are parallel, the two opposite walls of a room those have 0 lines of intersections

OpenStudy (help_people):

so the answer is 0

OpenStudy (danjs):

2 planes cant intersect at more than 1 line, try to do that

OpenStudy (danjs):

2 planes are either parallel, or they intersect in a line

OpenStudy (help_people):

can they intersect at 1?

OpenStudy (help_people):

so the asnwr is 2? @DanJS
