Question

planes a and b are shown. if a new line, p, is drawn parallel to line l, which statement is true? line p must be drawn in plane b. line p must be perpendicular to line m. line p must be drawn so that it can lie in the same plane as line l. line p must be drawn in the same plane as line n.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Analyze each option:
  • Option 1: A line parallel to line \(l\) does not have to be in plane \(B\). Parallel lines can be in different planes as long as they do not intersect and have the same direction.
  • Option 2: There is no information given that line \(p\) (parallel to \(l\)) must be perpendicular to line \(m\). Just because \(p\parallel l\), we cannot assume a perpendicular relationship with \(m\) without more geometric constraints (like \(l\perp m\) which is not stated).
  • Option 3: By the definition of parallel lines in geometry (in a three - dimensional space), two parallel lines can lie in the same plane. If we consider the properties of parallel lines, we can construct line \(p\) parallel to \(l\) such that they are coplanar.
  • Option 4: There is no requirement that line \(p\) (parallel to \(l\)) must be in the same plane as line \(n\). Line \(n\) is in plane \(B\) and \(l\) is in plane \(A\), and parallelism of \(p\) and \(l\) does not force \(p\) into plane \(B\) (where \(n\) is).

Answer:

Line \(p\) must be drawn so that it can lie in the same plane as line \(l\).
