Use the diagram on the right. How many planes contain both the line and the point a. FG and point P

b. EP and point G

Part (a)

Explanation:

Point P is part of 3 planes or faces of this triangular prism:

Notice how each three letter sequence involves "P", though this isn't technically always necessary. I did so to emphasize how point P is involved with these planes.

Each of the three planes mentioned do not involve line FG

So there are no planes that contain line FG and point P.

Part (b)

Explanation:

It's the same idea as part (a) earlier. The planes involving point G are

None of these planes have line EP going through them.

As an alternative, we could reverse things and focus on all of the planes connected to line EP. Those 2 planes are

None of these planes have point G located in them.
