It would depend upon your coordinate system. But in the regular Cartesian (rectangular) coordinate system you used in high school, the x axis is left to right and the y axis is up and down. So the vertical plane would be the xy plane.

If you are in three dimensions, the x axis is forward and backwards (coming out of the page toward and away from you), the y axis is left and right, and the z axis is up and down. So you would have two vertical planes--the xz plane and the yz plane.

Can two horizontal planes intersect?

No, horizontal planes run parallel to each other, so they do not intersect, but two vertical planes can intersect. Imagine the pages of a books as several planes. When you stand the book up, they are all vertical, but they all intersect at the book spine.


What shape has 2 edges and no vertices?

There are many possible answers: A cylinder A cone sliced by two planes perperndicular to its axis A toroid (doughnut) sliced by a plane vertical to its axis. A sphere sliced by two planes An ellipsoid sliced by two planes A paraboloid sliced by two planes etc.


What is the relationship between a horizontal line and vertical line?

They are mutually perpendicular. However, they need not intersect: if they are in different planes, they will not intersect.


Planes of symetry in circular cilander?

A circular cylinder has multiple planes of symmetry. Specifically, it has an infinite number of vertical planes of symmetry that pass through its central axis, as well as two horizontal planes of symmetry: one at the midpoint of its height and another at the top and bottom faces. These symmetries result from the cylinder's uniform circular cross-section and consistent height.


How many planes of symmetry does a heptagonal pyramid have?

A heptagonal pyramid has a total of 8 planes of symmetry. There are 7 vertical planes of symmetry that each pass through one vertex of the heptagonal base and the apex of the pyramid. Additionally, there is 1 horizontal plane of symmetry that bisects the pyramid at the midpoint of the apex and the base.

How many vertical planes of symmtry does a prism have?

It can have up to the number of sides on the base, but it need not have any.


Why are the fins on the submarines are used?

They are actually called "planes" on a submarine and allow it to maneuver underwater. Horizontal "planes" allow the submarine to go up/down, vertical "planes" allow the submarine to go left/right.


How many sections are made by the two different ways of dividing the abdominopelvic region?

The abdominopelvic region can be divided into four quadrants using the transverse and vertical planes intersecting at the umbilicus, and into nine regions using two transverse and two vertical planes intersecting at the midclavicular lines.


Can planes be parallel?

Yes. The opposite ends of any right prism consists of two congruent and parallel faces. Two planes are parallel if the vertical distance between them is always the same.

Where is the vertical plane in earth?

A vertical plane is any plane where the normal (a line at 90 degrees to the plane) is horizontal. All your walls are vertical planes. The normal to the plane of the Earth's orbit is often used to define "up" and "down" for planet Earth. The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees away from this "vertical" line. Also you could define "vertical" as simply the direction shown by a plumb line. That's the definition which has walls as vertical planes. With either definition there will be more than one plane that is a vertical plane.
