	The angle between two planes		2017-09-12
		From Arthi: Hello. hope you are having a good day. I am stuck on a maths question in which it is asking, how to find the angle between two given planes. These planes are in a 3D shape such as a prism. How can I do this? Please reply as soon as possible Thank You Answered by Penny Nom.
	The line of intersection of two planes		2015-12-09
		From Rabz: Determine the vector equation for the intersection between the two given planes 2x+7y equal to 14,x+z equal to 7 Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two jets leave denver at 9 am.		2010-10-15
		From Carl: two jets leave denver at 9 am. One flying east at a speed of 50 km per hour greater than the other which is traveling west. At 11 am the planes are 2500 km apart. Find their speeds. Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	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 Answered by Chris Fisher.
	Two jets are traveling towards each other		2009-10-05
		From jake: two jets are traveling towards each other and are 4000 km apart. the rate of one jet is 100 km/h faster than the rate of the other. if the jets pass each other after 2.5 hrs what is the rate of speed of the faster jet? Answered by Penny Nom.
	How fast is the distance between the airplanes decreasing?		2008-11-10
		From Crystal: At a certain instant, airplane A is flying a level course at 500 mph. At the same time, airplane B is straight above airplane A and flying at the rate of 700 mph. On a course that intercepts A's course at a point C that is 4 miles from B and 2 miles from A. At the instant in question, how fast is the distance between the airplanes decreasing? Answered by Harley Weston.

		From Sarim: How to find a intersection of two planes? Answered by Penny Nom.
	The intersection of planes		2004-09-07
		From Joshua: I was wondering about the intersection of planes. Can planes intersect? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two line segments and a plane		2003-09-11
		From Laura: Do all figures made up of two segments lie in a plane? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Can 2 vertical planes intersect?		2003-09-06
		From Erin: My question is can 2 vertical planes intersect? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two trig problems		2003-06-10
		From Bett: I have this ongoing trouble with trig and solving triangles with laws of cosines and sines!! For example if it asks to solve triangle FGH, given angle G=102.7 , side f=14.2, and h=18.6. Now do I use law of cosines because I don't have the measure of an angle and length of the opposite side??I don't know where to go from here,I am totally confused!!! I also have a problem with this word problem I have been doing. It asks: An airplane flies 847.5 km at a bearing of 237.3 degrees. How far south and west fo its original position is it? Huh? Please help! Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two airplanes leave Dallas		2003-02-06
		From A student: TWO AIRPLANES LEAVE DALLAS AT THE SAME TIME AND FLY IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. ONE AIRPLANE TRAVELS 80 MILES PER HOUR FASTER THAN THE OTHER. AFTER THREE HOURS, THEY ARE 2940 MILES APART. WHAT IS THE RATE OF EACH AIRPLANE? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two rate problems		2002-09-30
		From Rebecca: There are two small holes in the bottom of a tub filled with water. If opened, one hole will empty the tub in three hours; the other will empty it in six hours. If both holes are opened at the same time, how long will it take to empty the tub? An airplane flies 400 miles per hour in calm air. It can cover 900 miles flying with the wind in the same time that it can cover 700 miles against the wind. What is the speed of the wind? Answered by Penny Nom.
	How many planes contain a line and a point?		2000-08-30
		From Harold: How many planes contain each line and point? Answered by Harley Weston.
	Parallel planes		2000-01-10
		From Hugo Alvarez: When two parallel planes are cut by a third plane, the lines of the intersection are? Answered by Claude Tardif.
	Intersection of Planes		1998-12-03
		From Lindsay Fear: My name is Lindsay Fear. I am an OAC student (which is the Ontario equivalent to Grade 12 in most other states and provinces). I am in an Algebra and Geometry course and am currently studying a unit on equations of planes. Our teacher has given us this question that my friend and I have attempted several times, but we are still unable to solve it. My teacher has also suggested using the internet as a resource. The question is: Prove that a necessary condition that the three planes -x + ay + bz = 0 ax - y + cz = 0 bx + cy - z = 0 have a line in common is that a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2abc = 1 Answered by Walter Whiteley.
	Intersection of planes		1998-11-22
		From Dave Rasmussen: I am a teacher of secondary mathematics with a question about the uses of Three Dimensional Co-ordinate Geometry. I have been teaching my students to write equations of planes and lines, - to find the intersection of these and the distance between them. What I am having difficulty finding are good applications of these techniques to "real world" situations. Can anybody help me? Answered by Walter Whiteley and Harley Weston.
