Question

For the following figure, complete the statement for the specified points.

Points A, Q, and C are _____.

collinear
coplanar
both collinear and coplanar
neither collinear nor coplanar

Answer 1

Both collinear and coplanar

Explanation:

We know that the collinear points are the points which together make a straight line. From the diagram, it is clearly visible that points A, Q, and C make a straight line.

So it is collinear.

We know that that coplanar points are the points which are on same plane in two-dimensions. From the diagram, it is clearly visible that points A, Q and C are on same plane U.

So it is coplanar.

Answer 2

Points A, Q, and C are both collinear and coplanar

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, we get the points R, T, and B are on the same line , that is on the base edge of rectangular pyramid.

So these points are collinear .

Also all these points on a same plane which is base of rectangular prism.

Therefore Points A, Q, and C are both collinear and coplanar .

Therefore option 3rd option is the correct answer.
