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.

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.
Do Two planes always intersect in a line?
Some planes are parallel and don't intersect at all. Those that do intersect (and that are not coincident, i.e. the same plane) intersect in a line.
What is the minimum number of times two planes can intersect?
1
What plane has the two number lines that intersect?
Think about it, the x & y planes intersect and what one number has both, the x & y planes intersect. 0 on the coordinate plane is the, origin.
Do two planes intersect at a point or a line?
Two planes intersect at a line
If two planes intersect what is their intersection called?
A line. When two planes intersect, their intersection is a line.
If two planes intersect do they intersect in exactly one plane?
No, two planes do not intersect in exactly one plane unless the planes are exactly overlapping, making one plane. In Euclidean Geometry two planes intersect in exactly one line.
What are two planes that do not intersect?
parallel planes
How many Two planes intersect in exactly?
Two distinct planes will intersect in one straight line.
When two planes intersect do they intersect in a straight line?
Yes. If two planes are not coincident (the same plane) and are not parallel, then they intersect in one straight line.
How do you determine the angle between two planes if the planes intersect at a point?
The angle between two planes when the planes intersect at a point is the acute angle fixed by the normal vectors of the planes.
What occurs when two planes intersect?
The intersection of two planes is a line.
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.
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 in two lines?
No.
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.
