Page 10 - It, so that PR is equal to MN. Now the inclination of a straight line to a plane is the angle which the line makes with the intersection of the plane and a plane perpendicular to it passing through the line. Since, then, PM and QN are perpendicular to ABCD, the plane of PQMN is also perpendicular to it, and the inclination of PQ to the plane AB CD is measured by the angle between PQ and MN or the equal angle QPR.
