Can two planes in three dimensional space intersect at one point?
No, the two planes intersect at a line, which is an infinite number of points.
Can 3 lines intersect at only 1 point?
Assuming that the none of the lines are parallel, they can intersect (pairwise) at three points. Otherwise, the question is tautological.
Which term describes the point where the perpendicular bisector of the three sides of a triangle intersect?
It is the circumcentre, the unique point from which you can draw a circle (the circumscribed circle) which passes through all three vertices.

What is a closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments that intersect only at their end points?
polygon
Three lines that intersect in three points?
thre lines that intersect in three points
Do 3 lines that intersect in 3 points?
A triangle? Three lines that intersect in three points.
A tangent of a circle is a secant of the circle true or false?
A tangent of a circle is not a secant of a circle, so the answer is false. A tangent of a circle is a line that intersects the curve of the circle at exactly one point on the curve. It could be said to "touch" the circle at one unique location. Obviously there are an infinite number of lines that can be drawn to do this. A secant of a circle is a line that touches the curve of the circle at exactly two unique points on the curve. It might be considered "similar" to the chord of a circle, which is a line segment with endpoints at two unique locations on the curve of a circle. Except that the secant of a circle is a line and not a line segment. Any chord of a circle that is overlaid with a line, which is like saying that we "extend" the line segment that is the chord of the circle on each end, and do so all the way to infinity, we'll have the secant of a circle. Let's take things one step further. If a circle and a line are coplanar (lie in the same plane), one of three things will be true. Either they will have no (zero) points of intersection, or they'll have one point of intersection, or they'll have two points of intersection. There are no other possibilities. Think this through and it will make complete sense. A lot of geometry will "work like this" when we study it and think it through. Use the links below to check out the idea of a tangent and a secant of a circle.
Does three points intersect at a single point?
No, only three lines can intersect at a single point.
Three lines can intersect in only two points?
This is true. If three straight lines are drawn, they can only intersect at two points. That is, each line will only intersect with another once.
How do you draw an equalateral triangle around a circle with a compass and straight edge?
Keep compass the same size. Draw circle one. Draw circle two with the center on the edge of circle one. Draw circle three centered on one of the points of intersection between circle one and two. Now the area in between the all three circles where the points of circles intersect should join to make an equalateral triangle. Connect with your straight edge.
How many line can intersect a point?
A point can be intersected by infinitely many lines. Two points intersect in only one line. Three points either intersect in a line or not at all. This is only considering two dimensions.
Can two planes in three dimensional space intersect at one point?
No, the two planes intersect at a line, which is an infinite number of points.
What 3 parts does a circle divide a plane into?
The three parts are:the interior of the circle, the points on the circle (points on its circumference) the outside of the circle.
Can 2 circle and 3 lines get 17 intersection points?
Yes. Draw three line segments so that they cross at three points forming a triangle (with each side extending beyond the vertices of the triangle). Draw one circle to enclose the triangle without touching it to intersect the extended sides at a further 6 points, making 9 points of intersection so far. Draw the second circle slightly shifted (relative to the first) so that it also encloses the triangle (without touching it) creating a further 6 intersection points with the three lines and 2 with the first circle; an additional 8 intersection points making 17 in all.
Can 3 lines intersect at only 1 point?
Assuming that the none of the lines are parallel, they can intersect (pairwise) at three points. Otherwise, the question is tautological.
Can three non collinear points make a circle?
yes, any three non collinear points will make a circle, however, four or more will not
