Topic

Geometry Basics

Definition

Planes that do not intersect and are equidistant apart.

Description

Parallel planes are two planes that never meet, no matter how far they are extended. They are always the same distance apart. This concept is important in three-dimensional geometry and has applications in fields such as architecture and engineering. Understanding parallel planes helps in visualizing and solving problems related to three-dimensional space and structures.
