Problems Plus 3: Line and Surface of Two Intersecting Planes

The line of intersection of 2 planes sweeps out a hyperboloid of 1 sheet when the equation of the planes vary.

YouTube - Notes - Full video and playlist - Vectors and the Geometry of Space playlist

In this video I determine the symmetric equations of a line at the intersection of two planes. I then find out that when the equations of the plane vary, the line sweeps out a circular hyperboloid of one sheet. Finally, I calculate the volume of this surface between two planes.
