Question
In how many points two distinct planes can intersect?
Advertisements
Solution
Two distinct planes can intersect at only one unique line, which is common to both of them and one line is made up of infinite points. Therefore, two distinct planes can intersect at infinite points.

Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:-
- Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in between A and B.
- There exist at least three points that are not on the same line.
Do these postulates contain any undefined terms? Are these postulates consistent? Do they follow from Euclid’s postulates? Explain.
