Answer:

m = $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{m}$ = $\frac{6}{7}$ ( cross- multiply )

6m = 21 ( divide both sides by 6 )

m = $\frac{21}{6}$ = $\frac{7}{2}$ ( = 3.5 in decimal form )

Which are coplanar and noncolinar?

Paul [167]

Coplanar means "lying on the same plane," while colinear means "lying on the same line." In this problem, all four points A, B, C, and D are coplanar - they all lie on the plane $\mathcal{H}$ - so we just need to find the points that lie on the same line. Though points C and B would be colinear if there was a line drawn between them, there's no such line in this problem, so we can rule that out. We notice one line drawn on the plane, and points A, C, and D lying on it, so we can say that points A, C, and D are both coplanar and colinear.
