Two planes intersect along a line, and a section taken parallel to that line gives an angle that is

  • A.less than the true dihedral angle
  • B.equal to the true dihedral angle
  • C.always exactly ninety degrees
  • D.greater than the true dihedral angle

Answer: D

Correct answer: greater than the true dihedral angle

The true angle is measured in a plane perpendicular to the line of intersection. A section taken parallel to that line cuts both faces obliquely, and cutting a wedge at a slant always opens the angle out, so the measured value exceeds the true one. Only the perpendicular section gives the correct figure.
