Will the intersection of a plane and a sphere always be a circle or can it be a point also?
It will be a point if the plane is tangent to the sphere.
Name the intersection of plane BPQ and plane CPQ?
PQ
What is the intersection of a plane and a line?
A point.
What is the mathematical definition of great circle?
A great circle is defined as the largest possible circle that can be drawn on a sphere, resulting from the intersection of the sphere with a plane that passes through the sphere's center. It represents the shortest path between two points on the surface of the sphere, making it significant in navigation and geography. Examples of great circles include the equator and the longitudinal lines on a globe.
What is the intersection of a plane and a solid?
It is a cross section.
Will the intersection of a plane and a sphere always be a circle or can it be a point also?
It will be a point if the plane is tangent to the sphere.
Intersection of sphere and plane that contains center of a sphere?
great circle
When a plane intersects a sphere what does the intersection form?
A circle~
What is the shape of the dark grey area representing the intersection of the plane and the sphere?
We're having a hard time making out the dark grey area from here. But the intersection of a plane and a sphere is always a circle.
What type of geometric figure is formed by the intersection of a plane and sphere?
A Circle.
What is a shape of the intersection of a sphere and a horizontal plane?
A circle, which could degenerate to a point.
What is the shape of the dark area representing the intersectionof the plane and sphere?
The dark area is so dark that I'm unable to see it from here. But I do know that in general, the intersection of a plane and a sphere is a circle.
What is the point of intersection of a circle of a sphere with tangent line or plane?
The point of intersection of a tangent line or plane with a circle on a sphere is the single point where the line or plane touches the circle. This point is unique because, by definition, a tangent line or plane only intersects a circle at one point without passing through it. If the tangent is from an external point, it signifies that the line or plane is just "touching" the circle at that specific location. In three-dimensional space, this concept illustrates the relationship between the geometry of the sphere and the properties of tangents.
What is a great circle in spherical geometry?
The great circle is the intersection of a sphere and any plane passing through its centre. Given two distinct points on the surface of a sphere, those two points and the centre of the sphere define a plane. [If one of the points is at the antipodes of the other, an infinite number of planes are defined.] The great circle is the circle formed when that plane meets the surface of the sphere.
Which type of shape can read represent a two dimensional cross-section of a sphere?
A two-dimensional cross-section of a sphere is represented by a circle. When a plane intersects a sphere, the intersection forms a circular shape, with the size of the circle varying depending on how the plane cuts through the sphere. If the plane passes through the center of the sphere, the resulting circle will have the largest diameter, while other intersections will produce smaller circles.
The intersection of a plane and a line is?
If the line is not IN the plane ... it just zaps through the plane from some direction ... then it touches the plane in only one point. The intersection is a point.if it is lined up with the plane, then the intersection is a line.
What is formed by the intersection of a line and a plane if the line does not lie in the plane?
When a line intersects a plane and does not lie in the plane, the intersection forms a single point. This point is where the line crosses the plane. If the line is parallel to the plane, however, there will be no intersection point.
