Math Problem Statement

Use the diagram to answer questions about points, lines, and planes.

Solution

Let's analyze the diagram and answer the given questions:

  1. Name two points collinear to point K.
    Points that are collinear with point KK lie on the same straight line as KK. From the diagram, points JJ and NN lie on line bb, which passes through KK.
    Answer: JJ and NN

  2. Give another name for line bb.
    Line bb passes through points JJ, KK, and NN. A line can be named using any two points on the line, so another name for line bb could be JK\overleftrightarrow{JK} or JN\overleftrightarrow{JN}.
    Answer: JK\overleftrightarrow{JK} or JN\overleftrightarrow{JN}

  3. Name the intersection of line cc and plane RR.
    Line cc intersects plane RR at point KK, as both the line and plane share this point.
    Answer: KK

  4. Name a point non-coplanar to plane RR.
    A point is non-coplanar if it does not lie on the same plane. From the diagram, point MM is above plane RR, so it is non-coplanar.
    Answer: MM

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What does it mean for points to be coplanar?
  2. How do you determine if lines are parallel in a three-dimensional diagram?
  3. Can a line and a plane intersect at more than one point?
  4. How many points are needed to define a plane uniquely?
  5. Can a line be non-coplanar with a plane? Why or why not?

Tip: When naming lines or planes, remember you can use any two points on the line or three non-collinear points on the plane.
