Math Problem Statement
they is the answer
Choose all correct ways to name the element of the diagram that is red.
Solution
In the diagram, the red region represents a plane. To determine the correct name(s) for this plane, we should look at the points lying on it and how planes are typically named in geometry.
- Plane m: This refers to the plane perpendicular to the red plane, so this is not the correct answer.
- Plane A: This name doesn't match any standard method of labeling planes, as there is no specific indication that point A is enough to name the entire red plane. So, this is not correct.
- Plane C: Since point C lies on the red plane and planes can be named by a single point lying on them, this could be a valid name, though usually planes are named by multiple points.
- Plane BEC: This is a correct name for the red plane, as it contains points B, E, and C, and a plane can be named by any three non-collinear points on the plane.
So, the correct answers are:
- Plane C
- Plane BEC

Tip: In geometry, three non-collinear points are required to uniquely define a plane.
