Question
- use the diagram to the right to name the following.
a) the intersection of lines ( l ) and ( m ). ______
b) another name for plane ( q ). ______
c) are points ( d ) and ( e ) collinear or coplanar? ______
d) how many times do planes ( p ) and ( q ) intersect? ______
Part a)
Step1: Recall intersection of lines
Two lines intersect at a point. From the diagram, lines \( l \) and \( m \) intersect at point \( E \).
Step1: Recall naming a plane
A plane can be named by three non - collinear points on it. From the diagram, plane \( Q \) contains points \( E \), \( F \), \( G \), \( I \) (or other combinations). One possible name is plane \( EFG \) (or plane \( EFI \), plane \( EGI \), plane \( FGI \) etc., but looking at the diagram, points \( E \), \( F \), \( G \) are on line \( m \) and plane \( Q \), also point \( I \) is on plane \( Q \). A common way is to use three points, so plane \( Q \) can also be named as plane \( EFI \) (or other valid combinations, here we can see points \( E \), \( F \), \( I \) are on plane \( Q \)) or more accurately, from the diagram, plane \( Q \) has points \( E \), \( F \), \( G \), \( I \), so another name could be plane \( EFG \) or plane \( EFI \), but a more precise one from the given points: plane \( Q \) can be named as plane \( EFI \) (or plane \( EGI \), but let's check the diagram. The plane \( Q \) has line \( m \) (with \( E \), \( F \), \( G \)) and point \( I \). So a valid name is plane \( EFI \) (or plane \( EFGI \) but usually three non - collinear points. Since \( E \), \( F \), \( I \) are non - collinear (as \( F \) and \( E \) are on line \( m \), \( I \) is not on line \( m \)), so plane \( Q \) can be named as plane \( EFI \) (or plane \( EGI \), plane \( FGI \), plane \( EFG \) is collinear? No, \( E \), \( F \), \( G \) are collinear on line \( m \), so we need three non - collinear points. So \( E \), \( F \), \( I \): \( E \) and \( F \) are on line \( m \), \( I \) is not on line \( m \), so they are non - collinear. So another name for plane \( Q \) is plane \( EFI \) (or plane \( EGI \), plane \( FGI \)).
Step1: Recall collinear and coplanar
Collinear points lie on the same line, coplanar points lie on the same plane. Points \( D \) and \( E \) lie on line \( l \), so they are collinear. And since collinear points are always coplanar, but the question is asking are they collinear or coplanar. Since they lie on the same line, they are collinear.
