Use the figure to name a line containing point K.

Answer: The line can be named as line a.

There are three points on the line. Any two of the points can be used to name the line.

Use the figure to name a plane containing point L.

Answer: The plane can be named as plane B.

You can also use the letters of any three noncollinear points to name the plane.

plane JKM plane KLM plane JLM

The letters of each of these names can be reordered to create other acceptable names for this plane. For example, JKM can also be written as JMK, MKJ, KJM, KMJ, and MJK. There are 18 different three-letter names for this plane.

Answer: line c,

Answer: plane P, plane XYZ, plane ZYX, plane YZX, plane XZY, plane ZXY, plane YXZ

Use the figure to name each of the following.

a. a line containing point X

b. a plane containing point Z
