Solution

A line cannot be perpendicular to both planes.

Here's why:

  1. If a line is perpendicular to a plane, it means it intersects the plane at a right angle (90 degrees).

  2. If a line is perpendicular to two planes, those two planes must be parallel to each other. This is because a line cannot intersect two planes at a right angle unless the planes are parallel.

  3. However, if the two planes are parallel, then they are essentially the same plane (just at different locations), and the line is only perpendicular to one plane, not two different planes.

Therefore, a line cannot be perpendicular to both planes.
