i think they are true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Thank you! :3

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A plane can be named two ways. One way is a single small-case letter. In your case, there is no single small-case letter being used, so we'll skip that method.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The second way is to use three points on the plane. The points cannot be collinear, meaning, the points cannot all lie in one line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would it be A and B?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Through a line, there is an infinite number of planes. If you use three points on a line to name a plane, there is an infinite number of planes you could be naming, and we don't know which specific plane you are referring to. To name a plane using three points, you must use three points, not all on the same line, or three non-collinear points.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. The correct choices are A and B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks so much for your help! :D

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're welcome. BTW, choice C is incorrect because R is the name of a point on the plane. There is an infinite number of planes that contain point R.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You're welcome.
