Math Problem Statement

Name the line and plane shown in the diagram.

Solution

To answer the question about naming the line and plane in the diagram:

  1. Line: The line shown in the diagram passes through points RR and SS. Therefore, the line can be named as line RSRS or RS\overleftrightarrow{RS}.

  2. Plane: The plane contains the points R,S,U,R, S, U, and TT. A plane can be named using any three non-collinear points on it. For this diagram, the plane can be named as plane RSTRST, plane RSURSU, or any combination of three points like plane RUS\text{plane } RUS etc.

Here are some related questions that might help expand your understanding:

  1. What does it mean for points to be collinear?
  2. How do you determine if a point lies on a line or plane?
  3. What are the different ways to name a line in geometry?
  4. Can a line lie outside a plane in three-dimensional space?
  5. How do we represent the intersection of two planes?

Tip: In geometry, when naming a plane, make sure that the points chosen are non-collinear, as three collinear points do not uniquely determine a plane.
