ObjecGves    
 

•  At  the  end  of  the  lecture,  the  students  should  

be  able  to:  
–  Enumerate  real  life  problems  where  the  LOI  of  
planes  can  be  of  use  
–  Locate  LOI  of  overlapping  and  non-­‐overlapping  
planes  
–  Draw  correct  visibility  of  planes  
–  Apply  the  soluGon  to  different  problems  that  
involve  LOI

LOI  of  Planes    

 

•  Methods  of  locaGng  the  LOI  

–  If  the  planes  overlap  
•  Select  two  lines  in  one  plane  that  intersects  the  other  
plane.  Find  the  corresponding  piercing  points  and  
connect  them  to  construct  the  LOI  
–  If  the  planes  seem  to  not  overlap  
•  Assuming  that  the  planes,  as  defined  in  geometry,  
extends  in  all  direcGon,  non-­‐parallel  planes  will  
eventually  intersect.  Use  a  third  plane  to  find  the  LOI  of  
the  two  original  planes.

Summary    
 

•  LOI  is  applied  in  problems  that  involves  

intersecGng  planes  
•  Non-­‐parallel  planes,  whether  overlapping  or  
not,  can  have  LOI  
•  The  correct  visibility  should  always  be  drawn.    
•  The  visibility  of  the  line  is  determined  for  each  
plane  individually
