Can exactly two planes intersect and the third plane does not intersect the other two?
We don't think so. We reasoned it out like this: -- Two planes either intersect or else they're parallel. -- If two planes intersect, then they're not parallel. -- In order for the third one to avoid intersecting either of the first two, it would have to be parallel to both of them. But if they're not parallel to each other, then that's not possible. If the third plane is parallel to one of the first two, then it's not parallel to the other one, and it must intersect the one that it's not parallel to.
Where do two planes intersect?
In geometry, two planes intersect in a line. The only time this is not true is if the two planes are parallel to each other.
Could the intersection of 3 planes be a line?
The intersection of 2 non-parallel planes is always a line.The intersection of 3 planes doesn't have to be a line, but it can be. If it is,then there are an infinite number of other planes that can also intersect thosethree along the same line.
What is an intersecting line?
An intersection is the point at which two or more lines touch or cross, therefore, lines are intersecting when they cross each-other.
What is a vertical angle-?
Whenever two lines intersect, vertical angles refers to the angles opposite each other
What does dihedral angle mean?
A dihedral angle is the angle between two intersecting planes.
What is parallel lines that intersect?
It is impossible for parallel lines to intersect because parallel means lines that run alongside each other without intersecting.

Can two different planes intersect a line?
Yes, there are three ways that two different planes can intersect a line: 1) Both planes intersect each other, and their intersection forms the line in the system. This system's solution will be infinite and be the line. 2) Both planes intersect the line at two different points. This system is inconsistent, and there is no solution to this system. However, both planes will still be intersecting the same line, albeit at different locations on the line. 3) Both planes intersect each other, but their intersection does NOT form the line in the system. However, if the line in the system intersects the planes' intersection, then they will all intersect a single point. The solution will be finite and be a single point. There are also 3 ways two different planes WON'T both intersect a line. 1) The two planes and the line are all parallel to each other, and none of them intersect each other. 2) The line is parallel to one plane, but intersects the other plane. 3) The same as #2, but now the line is parallel to the other plane and intersects the one plane.

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.
What are lines that intersect other lines?
these are called intersecting lines-go figure!!!!
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.
Are intersecting lines alway perpendicular?
Form right angles
Three planes may all intersect each other at exactly one point?
Three planes may all intersect each other at exactly one point. This commonly occurs when there is one straight plane and two other planes intersect it at acute or obtuse angles.
Do intersecting lines form perpendicular angles?
Only when they intersect each other at right angles.
How do you draw two rays that are not parallel to each other and never intersects?
that is impossible. if they aren't parrallel, and they're rays they have to intersect at some point. This is because rays spread at both ends. The above answer is only correct if the rays on drawn on the same plane or if they are drawn on convergent (intersecting) planes, so the correct answer is the two rays must be drawn on separate planes that are not convergent, since all non-parallel lines on the same plane, or on convergent planes, will eventually intersect. If they are drawn in 3 dimensions than you can avoid them intersecting. Perhaps the questions is not specific enough?
