Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Question

Chapter 1.5, Problem 20WE

(a)

To determine

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

(a)

Expert Solution

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 determine

To check: The one plane X contains the point P, R and S.

(b)

Expert Solution

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 determine

To find: The postulate that the plain contains the line k.

(c)

Expert Solution

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 determine

To identify: The postulate that results in contradiction of the given statement.

(d)

Expert Solution

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.
