Algebra.Com's Answer #215664 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. False. Imagine a spinner held above a table. The table would be the plane m while the spinner (which isn't in the plane) can point in any direction but still be parallel to the plane m. So there isn't a unique line that goes the given point (the center of the spinner).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. True (assuming we're working in one plane, eg the 2D cartesian coordinate system). This can be shown algebraically.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3. True. Again, this can be shown algebraically.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4. False. It is possible to draw a line that lies in the plane, but that is not parallel to the given line. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5. True. The altitude bisects the base side. \n" ); document.write( " |
