    The point(s) resulting from the intersection of a sphere with a line, (if
    the line intersects the sphere):

    The point or equation of the circle resulting from the intersection of a
    plane with a sphere, (if the plane intersects the sphere):

    An n-dimensional plane is defined by n noncolinear points, and its normal
    the cross product of (n-1) lines adjoining them. The case can be extended
    to find the n-dimensional circle resulting from the intersection of the n-dimensional sphere and the n-dimensional plane.

    In the case of the (n-1) point(s) resulting from the intersection of the n-dimensional line with the n-dimensional sphere, all that is involved in
    its calculation is the dot product.

    The fact that points in spaces of dimension higher than 3 can't be
    visualized has of course nothing to do with their existence.

    I posted this earlier but since then edited the pages so they can be read easier.
