Determine the intersection of the plane 𝐷𝐶𝐶 dash 𝐷 dash and plane 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 and plane 𝐴𝐷𝐷 dash 𝐴 dash.
In this question, we’re looking for the vertex or edge at which the three planes intersect. Let’s first consider the plane 𝐷𝐶𝐶 dash 𝐷 dash and the plane 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷. Well, these two planes intersect along the edge 𝐶𝐷. This is because they have a common edge 𝐶𝐷 belongs to the plane 𝐷𝐶𝐶 dash and 𝐷 dash and also belongs to the plane 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷.
However, we also need to consider the plane 𝐴𝐷𝐷 dash 𝐴 dash. We can see from the diagram that the plane 𝐴𝐷𝐷 dash 𝐴 dash intersects 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 along the edge 𝐴𝐷. The plane 𝐴𝐷𝐷 dash 𝐴 dash also intersects the plane 𝐷𝐶𝐶 dash 𝐷 dash along the edge 𝐷𝐷 dash.
We were asked to determine the intersection of all three planes 𝐷𝐶𝐶 dash 𝐷 dash intersects 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 intersects 𝐴𝐷𝐷 dash and 𝐴 dash at the point 𝐷. This is because 𝐷 is the only common vertex of all three planes. 𝐷 exists in the plane 𝐷𝐶𝐶 dash 𝐷 dash. It also exists in the plane 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷. And finally, 𝐷 is also a vertex of the plane 𝐴𝐷𝐷 dash 𝐴 dash.
This means that the point of intersection is the vertex 𝐷.
