In a geometry class, students are asked to describe the dimensions of a plane based on the components that create a plane. Which student’s response is correct?

A
Mark states that a plane has zero dimensions because it is made up of three noncollinear points.
B
Stacy states that a plane has two dimensions because it is made up of an infinite number of lines.
C
Dewayne states that a plane has one dimension because it contains the line intersecting two points.
D
Candice states that a plane can have multiple dimensions depending on how many points are labeled.

Which statements are true? Select three options.

A
There are exactly two planes that contain points A, B, and F.
B
There is exactly one plane that contains points E, F, and B.
C
The line that can be drawn through points C and G would lie in plane X.
D
The line that can be drawn through points E and F would lie in plane Y.
E
The only points that can lie on plane Y are points E and F.

Explain why there must be at least two lines on any given plane.

Answer:

A plane contains at least three noncollinear points. According to geometric postulates, any two distinct points define a unique line. Since the three points in the plane are noncollinear, they cannot all lie on the same line. By connecting different pairs of these points (for example, point A to point B and point B to point C), at least two distinct lines are formed within the plane.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

A
A plane contains at least three noncollinear points.
B
Three noncollinear points would have at least two lines containing them.
C
Two points make up one line, so two lines are necessary for three noncollinear points.
