Example 4A: Sometimes, Always, Never Determine whether the following statement is always, sometimes, or never true. Explain. If plane T contains EF and EF contains point G, then plane T contains point G. Answer: Always; Postulate 2.5 states that if two points lie in a plane, then the entire line containing those points lies in the plane.
Example 4B: Sometimes, Always, Never Determine whether the following statement is always, sometimes, or never true. Explain. GH contains three noncollinear points. Answer: Never; noncollinear points do not lie on the same line by definition.
