Can you help me with my geometry question, please?

Consider three walls that meet in a corner as representing portions of two geometric planes. How many points are common to the three planes?

CHOICES:

One point

No points

An infinite number

(I’m leaning to the latter.)

Can you answer this, and explain why it’s the answer? I would very much appreciate it!

Consider three walls that meet in a corner as representing portions of THREE geometric planes. How many points are common to the three planes?

One point

The three planes intersect at a single point — the corner.

The intersection of TWO planes is a single line. (Look at where two walls meet — their intersection is a vertical line connecting the floor to the corner.) This line intersects the ceiling (the third plane) at a single point.

I hope this helps!

I think it’s infinate because a plane is infinite

no points because there are only two planes not three.
