It's all good, I actually didn't think of that.
I'm sure they do have other things to do besides reading every post, but it's best to be safe lol.

Hi,
Ah I think I understand a little more now, I just needed an idea of how to actually describe it. I've come up with some answers now using the logic you mentioned, so we'll see how I do.
I believe you're talking about [name removed by admin to avoid helping them search for mentions]? That is the course I'm using, so I can see why you shouldn't give an actual answer. I just needed more of a hint on how to proceed, otherwise I do all my work myself (obviously, since I'm there to actually learn lol)

Hi! I recently discovered the forum and thought it might be helpful.
I'm having trouble with a high school geometry problem.
Imagine you have been called as a expert witness in a court case. Your expertise is in the area of planes (not airplanes, just planes in geometry). Your task is to convince the jury that there is, in fact, a plane based on the given information. You must prove all three of the definitions of a plane given in Lesson 1. You may need to include some other definitions such as the definition of an angle, a ray, etc.
Question from the lawyer: "Dr. Expert, I only see a 70° angle here. Kelly said that having this angle means you have a plane. I enter Exhibit A which shows three definitions of a plane. From what I see, none of these definitions say that an angle defines a plane. Explain how each definition proves that an angle defines a plane."
State the definition and then explain how you can prove each definition given the angle.
14. Definition 1: a line and a point not lying on the line
15. Definition 2: three points that are not collinear
16. Definition 3: two lines which intersect in a single point or are parallel
I'm not quite understanding how to describe the answers. I see that all three definitions can create an angle, but I'm not sure how to describe this?
