The Geometry of Space: Vectors · Geometry and Measurement

Lines and Planes in 3D

Defining positions and orientations of geometric objects using vector equations.

Key Questions

  1. 1What is the minimum information required to uniquely define a plane in space?
  2. 2How can we determine if two lines in 3D space are intersecting, parallel, or skew?
  3. 3Why is the normal vector the most efficient way to represent a plane's orientation?
