Do planes intersect at a point?

No, planes intersect at a line.


Do two planes intersect at a point or a line?

Two planes intersect at a line


Can a given line be in two planes?

Two planes intersect at a line. The line where they intersect pertains to both planes. In the same manner, if infinitely many planes intersect each other at the same line, then that line pertains to the infinitely many planes.


Two planes can intersect on exactly one point?

No, 2 planes may only intersect at a line, a plane, or not at all. THREE planes may intersect at a point though...


What happens when three planes intersect?

Nothing HAPPENS! They can intersect in a point or a line.


Can two planes in three-dimensional space intersect at one point?

No, they intersect at a line.


What are lines that intersect at the same point?

yes two lines intersect to form a point two planes intersect to form a line


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 do you call two planes that intersect?

Two planes that intersect are simply called a plane to plane intersection. When they intersect, the intersection point is simply called a line.


If two planes intersect than they intersect at exactaly one point?

Yes. If two planes are not coincident (the same plane) and are not parallel, then they intersect in one straight line.


Is it true that three planes can intersect in only one point?

The intersection of three planes can be a plane (if they are coplanar), a line, or a point.


Can two planes intersect in a ray or a segment explain why?

In 3d space, two planes will always intersect at a line...unless of course they are the same plane (they coincide). Because planes are infinite in both directions, there is no end point (as in a ray or segment). So, your answer is neither, planes intersect at a line.
