Question

Parts (a) through (d) justify Theorem 1-2: Through a line and a point not
in the line there is exactly one plane.
a. If P is a point not in line k, what postulate per- mits us to state that there are two points R and S in line kl
b. Then there is at least one plane X that contains points
P, R, and S. Why?
c. What postulate guarantees that plane X contains
line kl Now we know that there is a plane X that contains both point P and line k.                                                                                                               d. There can't be another plane that contains point P
and line k, because then two planes would contain
noncollinear points P, R, and 5. What postulate
does this contradict?
