 Intersection of Figures
The intersection of two figures is the set of points that are
common in both figures.

The intersection of two lines is a point.

Line m and line n intersect at point P.

 Possibilities of Intersection of a Line and a Plane

(1) Line passes through plane – intersection is a point.

(2) Line lies on the plane - intersection is a line.
(3) Line is parallel to the plane - no common points.

Intersection of Two Planes is a Line.

Plane P and Plane R intersect at the line AB

 Introduction to Intersection
• When two surface, either plane or curved, meet a line
formed common to both called line of intersection.
• Line of intersection can be formed by a combination of
two prisms, combination of two cylinders, a
combination of two cones, a combination of two
pyramids, a combination of a prism and a cylinder, a
combination of a prism and a cone, a combination of a
prism and a pyramid, a combination of a cylinder and a
cone, a combination of a cylinder and a pyramid and
combination of a cone and a pyramid.
 Introduction to Intersection
• Two object can be intersect at angle of 90o (right
intersection) or at an angle different from 90o (oblique
intersection); and can be intersect symmetrically or
asymmetrically.
Line of Intersection between Two Prisms

Line of intersection between two prisms right angle to each other-symmetrical.

Line of Intersection between Two Prisms

Line of intersection between two prisms right angle to each other-asymmetrical.

Line of Intersection between Two Prisms

Line of intersection between two prisms oblique angle to each other.

Example : A sq.prism 30 mm base sides and 70mm axis is
completely penetrated by another square prism of 25 mm
sides. And 70 mm axis, horizontally. Both axes Intersects
& bisect each other. All faces of prisms are equally
inclined to Vp. Draw projections showing curves of
intersections.

and Vp and intersects axis of the cone at a point 28 mm
above the base. Draw projections showing curves of
