(3d) Whether line segment intersects triangle 2019-04-13
From rj:
Well hello,

Lets say I have a triangle,

Not any ordinary triangle, but a triangle that is represented in 3 dimensions. I also have a line segment.

Lets say that this triangle has points A(0,0,0), B(1,0,0), C(0,1,1)

And the line segment has points D(0,1/2,0), E(1,1/2,1)

In what way can I find if the line segment and triangle intersect? Their intersection point?

I don't prefer matrices, because they don't make any sense, but ... if that's the only way to solve this, then do what's necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Can a line segment curve over two planes? 2010-02-14
From Graham:
I am working on a math fair project. Can a line segment curve over two planes? Such as, if I had a three dimensional L bracket and I drew a line segment on it with a marker starting on the bottom of the L and had it curve around the corner and up the top, would it still be considered one line segment? Or is that two line segments? Is there a rule that a line segment can only occupy one plane? Thank you. Graham

Drilling holes in a cube 2006-12-12
From Liz:
What is the volume of the solid remaining if a unit cube has a hole drilled thru one face to the opposite side and the hole that is drilled is a cylinder of unit diameter. Then the cube is rotated and an identical hole is drilled from an untouched face to the opposite side. Then the cube is rotated and an identical hole is drilled between the last two untouched faces. This will result in the cube vertices and the remaining volume of the cube falling into 8 parts. What is the total volume of these 8 parts. How is this volume calculated?
