Projection of points and lines onto planes
Projection onto Planes
Textbook Page 3.14
A’ is the projection of
point A onto the plane,
while B is not.

Projection onto Planes
Textbook Page 3.14
A’ is the projection of point
A onto the plane, because
AA’ is perpendicular to the
plane.
B is not the projection of A
onto the plane, because AB
is not perpendicular to the
plane.

A line can also be projected on
a plane in a similar way.

Angle between Line and Plane
Textbook Page 3.16
Angle between line L on plane P
= angle between L and
its projection on P

Find the line of intersection L.
Choose a point (A) on the
intersection line.
On each plane, draw lines L1,
L2 from A and perpendicular
to L.
The angle between L1, L2 is
the angle between two planes.
