(a)
To state: The postulate permits that there are two points R and S in the line k.
(a)

Answer to Problem 20WE
Postulate 5.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the statement below:
Parts a through d justify Theorem 1-2. Through a line and point not in the line there is exactly one plane.
Formula used:
The non-collinear points are used.
Calculation:
From Postulate 5, a line contains at least 2 points.
Therefore, line k contains atleast two points R and S.
Hence, the answer is postulate 5.
Conclusion:
The postulate 5 is obtained.
(b)
To check: The one plane X contains the point P, R and S.
(b)

Answer to Problem 20WE
The reason is postulate 7
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the statement below:
Parts a through d justify Theorem 1-2. Through a line and point not in the line there is exactly one plane.
Formula used:
The non-collinear points are used.
Calculation:
From Postulate 7, through any 3 points there is atleast one plane. Therefore, through points P, R and S there is at least one plane X.
Hence, the answer is postulate 7.
Conclusion:
Through points P, R and S there is at least one plane X.
(c)
To find: The postulate that the plain contains the line k.
(c)

Answer to Problem 20WE
The answer is theorem 1-2.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the statement below:
Parts a through d justify Theorem 1-2. Through a line and point not in the line there is exactly one plane.
Formula used:
The non-collinear points are used.
Calculation:
From b. points P, R and S are contained in at least one plane X and from a. line k contains two points R and S.
From Theorem 1-2, through a line and point not in the line there is exactly one plane.
Therefore, X must contain line k by above argument
Hence, the answer is theorem 1-2.
Conclusion:
X must contain line k
(d)
To identify: The postulate that results in contradiction of the given statement.
(d)

Answer to Problem 20WE
The answer is postulate 7
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the statement below:
Parts a through d justify Theorem 1-2. Through a line and point not in the line there is exactly one plane.
Formula used:
The non-collinear points are used.
Calculation:
From b, points P, R and S are contained in a plane X. From Postulate 7, through any 3 non collinear points there is exactly one plane. Points P, R and S are non-collinear points.
Therefore, X is the unique plane that contains points P, R and S.
Hence, the answer is postulate 7.
Conclusion:
X is the unique plane that contains points P, R and S.

- Find the area of a square whose diagonal is 10arrow_forwardDecomposition geometry: Mary is making a decorative yard space with dimensions as shaded in green (ΔOAB).Mary would like to cover the yard space with artificial turf (plastic grass-like rug). Mary reasoned that she could draw a rectangle around the figure so that the point O was at a vertex of the rectangle and that points A and B were on sides of the rectangle. Then she reasoned that the three smaller triangles resulting could be subtracted from the area of the rectangle. Mary determined that she would need 28 square meters of artificial turf to cover the green shaded yard space pictured exactly.arrow_forward7. 11 m 12.7 m 14 m S V=B₁+ B2(h) 9.5 m 16 m h+s 2 na 62-19 = 37 +, M h² = Bu-29arrow_forward
