Math Problem Statement

Line m intersects plane R at a single point. Select the correct figure.

Solution

The question is asking which figure represents a line mm intersecting plane RR at a single point.

Analysis of Options:

  • A: Line mm is shown perpendicular to plane RR, intersecting at one point. This matches the description of a line intersecting a plane at a single point.
  • B: Line mm and plane RR appear to be parallel, so they would not intersect at any point. This does not fit the description.
  • C: Line mm is lying on plane RR, meaning it would intersect at multiple points, not a single one. This is also incorrect.
  • D: A point mm is shown on plane RR, but there’s no line shown intersecting at a single point, so this is not the correct option.

Conclusion:

The correct figure is A, where line mm intersects plane RR at a single point.

Tip: Always ensure the definitions of "intersect," "parallel," and "lie on" are clear when analyzing geometric figures.
