(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.

Is a sheet of paper 2-dimensional? 2000-03-06
From Jaclyn Evans:
One day, we were discussing 3-dimensional items. Is a sheet of paper considered a 3-dimensional shape? Or is it 2-dimensional as described by 8.5 by 11 size? Also, could you give me an example of a 4-dimensional item or scenario?
