Find the truth value in each statement (true or false). 1) E lies in plane R. 2) CD←→ lies in plane F. 3) C, E, and D are coplanar. 4) Plane F contains ED−→−. 5) B and E are collinear. 6) BC←→ contains F and R.

Coplanar means that the points share a plane. Colinear means the points are on the same line. Line CD appears to lie on plane F. Points C and D lie on plane F, and point E lies on plane R. I cannot tell if segment ED even exists... B and E do not appear to be on the same line. I hope this helps!

OpenStudy (aric200):

Dont they lie on multiple planes?

Which ones?

OpenStudy (aric200):

All of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmm...the only points that seem to appear on both planes are B and C.

OpenStudy (aric200):

Look both the planes go throught each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but only notice that line BC touch both planes at one time. The others are only touching one plane at one time.

OpenStudy (aric200):

:O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha did you just have a light bulb moment?

OpenStudy (aric200):

Pretty much

Please check this @AlexaDominique

Ahh! You have numbers 2, 3, and 5 backwards! Number 2 should be TRUE because line CD DOES lie on plane F. Look very closely! Number 3 should be FALSE. Remember that coplanar means that all the points share a plane. Although C and D are both on plane F, E is on plane R. Number 5 should be FALSE. Remember that colinear means that two points share the same line. B and E are not on the same line. Other than that, I think you're good.

Don't give up! It can be tricky looking at problems like this.
