The answer is: [B]: may. ______________________________________________ Plane <em>ABC</em> <span>and Plane </span><em>BCE </em> <u>MAY</u> be the same plane. _____________________________________________ Note: We can still determine the answer WITHOUT an illustration. ______________________________________________ Explanation: __________________________________Note that: Two (2) points) determine a line; whereas three (3) points determine a plane. → As such, Plane <em>ABC </em>and Plane <em>BCE</em> <u>MAY</u> be the same plane. This would be the case if "<u>Point E</u>" is on Plane <em>ABC</em>. {That is to say, if "<u>Point A</u>" is on Plane <em>BCE </em>}.
→This would be the only "circumstance". ___________________________________________ <span>→ Hence the answer is: [B]: may.</span> ______________________________ Answer choice: [A]: "must" ; is incorrect. It is clearly INCORRECT to say that: "Plane <em>ABC</em> and Plane <em>BCE</em> "<u>must</u>" be the same plane._____________________________ Answer choice: [C]: "cannot" is clearly incorrect. As per the example explained above, it is clearly INCORRECT to say that: ""Plane <em>ABC </em>and Plane <em>BCE</em> "<u>cannot</u>" be the same plane. __________________________________________________
