Problem 59

AMC 10/12, early questions
Geometry Difficulty 3.2 Find the answer

Let mm and nn be two different lines, and α\alpha, β\beta, and γ\gamma be three different planes. Given the following four propositions:

If mαm \subset \alpha and nαn \parallel \alpha, then mnm \parallel n;

If αβ\alpha \parallel \beta, βγ\beta \parallel \gamma, and mαm \perp \alpha, then mγm \perp \gamma;

If αβ=n\alpha \cap \beta = n, mnm \parallel n, and mαm \parallel \alpha, then mβm \parallel \beta;

If mαm \parallel \alpha, nβn \parallel \beta, and mnm \parallel n, then αβ\alpha \parallel \beta.

Among these, the true proposition(s) is/are __________ (Fill in the correct proposition number(s)).

A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

Analysis

This question examines the spatial relationship between lines and planes. By referring to the relevant definitions, we can judge each case accordingly.

Solution

If mαm \subset \alpha and nαn \parallel \alpha, then mnm \parallel n or mm and nn are skew lines, hence proposition is incorrect;

If αβ=n\alpha \cap \beta = n, mnm \parallel n, and mαm \parallel \alpha, then mβm \parallel \beta or mβm \subset \beta, hence proposition is incorrect;

If mαm \parallel \alpha, nβn \parallel \beta, and mnm \parallel n, then αβ\alpha \parallel \beta or α\alpha intersects β\beta, hence proposition is incorrect.

Therefore, the answer is \boxed{②}.
