Chapter 5.2, Problem 1aT
Hold a small piece of paper (e.g., an index card) flat in front of you. The paper can be thought of as a part of a larger plane surface.
What single line could you use to specify the orientation of the plane of the paper (i.e., so that someone else could hold the paper in the same, or in a parallel, plane)?
