Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image is written in Indonesian and translates to:
Problem: "It is known that line a is parallel to line g, and line b is parallel to line h. If lines a and b intersect and lie on plane α, while lines g and h intersect and lie on plane β, what is the position of planes α and β?"
Solution:
We have two key pieces of information:
- Line a is parallel to line g and line b is parallel to line h.
- Lines a and b intersect on plane α, and lines g and h intersect on plane β.
To understand the relative position of planes α and β, observe the following:
- Since lines a and g are parallel but lie in different planes, it implies that planes α and β must also be parallel to each other.
- Similarly, the same holds for lines b and h.
Conclusion:
Since corresponding lines are parallel and each pair lies on different planes, α and β are parallel planes.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- What conditions must be met for two planes to be parallel?
- How do parallel lines in different planes affect the spatial relationship of the planes?
- What happens if two lines intersect on the same plane but are not parallel?
- Can two planes be perpendicular if they contain parallel lines? Why or why not?
- How can the intersection of lines help determine the position of planes?
Tip: When two lines are parallel but exist in different planes, it often hints at the planes themselves being parallel.
