sir,

After lots of efforts and trials i was unable to porve that the equation
for the intersection of three planes is given by following equation.....

r = {D1 ( U2 Cross U3) + D2 (U3 Cross U1) + D3(U1 Cross U2)} / U1 dot ( U2
Cross U3)

where r,U1,U2,U3 are all vectors  ( since i was unable to type bar sign
over the alphabet)

also where , the eqution of a plane is given as 

r dot U = D  where  U is normal vector ot the plane

Also i am unable to explain the geometric meaning of a Zero denominator in
the above equation

Waiting to hear from you

Regards

Kiran
