1. If, in two solids of equal altitude the sections made by planes parallel to and at the
same distance from their respective bases are always equal, the volume of the solids
are equal.
2. Through one straight line, infinite number of planes may be passed.
3. Every point in a plane bisecting a dihedral angle is equally distant from the edges of
the angle.
4. The opposite lateral faces of a rectangular parallelepiped are equal and parallel.
5. The intersections of two parallel planes by a third plane are perpendicular lines.
6. The edges of prism are equal polygons.
7. Two straight lines perpendicular to the same plane are parallel.
8. The parallel edges of a rectangular parallelepiped are unequal.
9. If three or more planes meet at a point, they form a dihedral angle.
10.Two planes are perpendicular to each other if they form a right dihedral angle.
