You must solve the equations of the lines simultaneously. Represent each line in an equation of the form y=mx +b (where m represents the slope of the line, that is "rise over run"), then make substitutions using the info you have to solve for a pair of coordinates they share.

What is a PVI?

PVI = Point of Vertical Intersect. It's where two adjoining Curve Lines meet in the Center of the Arc or Curved Line.


What is a crack in buildings?

A crack in buildings is generally referred to a line which separates two segments of a building. It is detrimental to the quality of the building, and causes a loss of strength in the structure and support of the building.


How is a line different from a line segment?

A line is basically a combination of two joined rays pointing in opposite directions. A line has no endpoints and a line segment has two. <--------------> line ---------------> or <------------ ray .________. line segment (It's supposed to be a line with dots at the end to signify endpoint)


What is a grid address?

A: A GRID is a like a cross patch where there are many points of entry and when two point intersect that point will be unique and a address can be given.


What are the different types of geometric constraints that are applied to sketches and what are their functions?

Perpendicular is a constraint that causes lines or axes of curves to meet at right angles.Parallel causes two or more lines or ellipse axes to be equidistant from each other.Tangent is used to cause two arcs or a line and an arc to intersect at a single point perpendicular to the arc's radius.Coincident fixes two points together, or fixes a point to a curve.Concentric causes two or more arcs, circles, or ellipses to share the same center point.Colinear causes two lines or ellipse axes to lie along the same line.Horizontal causes lines, ellipse axes, or pairs of points to lie parallel to the X axis of the sketch coordinate system.Vertical causes lines, ellipse axes, or pairs of points to lie parallel to the y axis of the sketch coordinate system.Equal forces line segments to be the same length and arcs or circles to have the same radius.Fix constrains points or curves to a specific point on the sketch coordinate system.Symmetry causes selected lines or curves to become symmetrically constrained about a selected line.(http://chongher.weebly.com/pltw-blog.html)
