You can think of the ceiling and floor or a room as parts of horizontal planes. The walls are parts of vertical planes. Vertical planes are represented by figures like those shown in which two sides are vertical. A horizontal plane is represented by a figure like that shown, with two sides horizontal and no sides vertical.

Can two horizontal planes intersect?
Draw two points P, Q on a sheet of paper. Fold the paper so that fold line f contain both P, Q. Unfold the paper. Now fold so that P falls on Q. Call the second fold g. Lay the paper flat and label the intersection of f and g as X. How are points P, Q and X? Explain.
Which is greater, the distance from R to S or the distance from T to U?

A plane can be named by three or more non-collinear points it contains. In chapter 12 you will study pyramids like the one shown at the right below.
