Q17 - Geometry

Question

A plane can be named by three or more non-collinear points it contains. In chapter 12 you will study pyramids like the one shown at the right below.

Name three planes that intersect at point S.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The three planes that intersect at point S are RSTW, STV, and RSV.

Step 1. Observe the given diagram.

The given diagram is of a pyramid which is made up of five planes.

Step 2. Observe the figure shown below.

The planes that intersect at point S are highlighted in the below diagram.

Step 3. Name the planes passing through point S .

From the above figure, it can be noticed that:

The planes RSTW, STV and RSV are the planes passing through point S.
