It depends on at what angle the plane and the cylinder are intersecting. If they are standing upright and intersect at 90 degrees (from the altitude of the shapes), a line in the shape of a circle forms.

What line forms when a plane and a cylinder intersect?

When a plane intersects a cylinder, the resulting shape can be a circle, an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola, depending on the angle and position of the plane relative to the cylinder. If the plane cuts parallel to the axis of the cylinder, the intersection will be a rectangle or a parallelogram. If the plane cuts at an angle, the intersection can produce a curved line, typically an ellipse or a hyperbola. The exact nature of the intersection depends on the specific parameters of the cylinder and the plane.


where does a plane intersect in geometry?

A plane intersects a line at a point, and i plane intersects another plane at 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.

A is a line that intersects the plane in a point and is perpendicular to every line in the plane that intersects it?

I believe the answer is "perpendicular line". Forgive me if I'm wrong :)

What type of intersections happen between lines and planes?

A line that does not lie within a plane and intersects the plane does so at one point.A line that lies within a plane intersects the plane at all points.


What is the number of points that the line intersects the plane?

1.


How do you draw a line that intersects two nonintersecting planes?

If the planes are non-intersecting, then they're parallel. Any line that intersects one of them intersects both of them.


What line forms when a plane and a cylinder intersection?

A pair of parallel lines, an ellipse or a circle.
