Exercise 29 Page 385

A point that does not lie on the line EH is not collinear with E and H.

Example Solution: A

Practice makes perfect

In this exercise we want to use the given diagram to name a point that is not collinear with points E and H. For a point to not be collinear with points E and H, it has to not lie on the line EH. Let's consider the given diagram and fade this line and the points that lie on it.

From the diagram, we can see that J is the only other point that lies on EH. Therefore, it is collinear with points E and H and cannot be our answer. All points other than E, H, and J are, therefore, not collinear with E and H. This leaves us with seven possible solutions. Let's list all of them. A, B, C, D, F, G, I We can choose point A as an example answer for this exercise. However, note that choosing any of these listed points would result in a correct answer.
