  • 2. 

    Figure A and B are examples of parallel planes.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Figure A and B are examples of parallel planes because they do not intersect each other at any point. In geometry, parallel planes are defined as planes that do not intersect, meaning they never cross paths. In this case, since Figure A and B do not intersect, they can be considered parallel planes.

    What is this? - ProProfs

    What is this?

    • A point

    • A line

    • A ray

    • A line segment

    Correct Answer
    A. A line segment
    Explanation
    A line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints. It is different from a line, which extends indefinitely in both directions. In this case, the image or description provided is most likely showing a finite section of a line, indicating that it is a line segment rather than a point, line, or ray.

    A point has zero dimensions, and a line has one dimension.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A point is a geometric object that has no length, width, or height, and therefore it has zero dimensions. On the other hand, a line is a one-dimensional object that has length but no width or height. Therefore, the statement that a point has zero dimensions and a line has one dimension is true.

    A straight line that goes on forever in two directions?

    • A line

    • A point

    • A line segment

    • A ray

    Correct Answer
    A. A line
    Explanation
    A line is a geometric figure that extends infinitely in both directions. It has no endpoints and continues indefinitely.

    A location in space is called a

    • Point

    • Line

    • Plane

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Point
    Explanation
    A location in space is referred to as a point because it represents a specific position with no dimensions or size. A point has no length, width, or height, and it is considered to be infinitely small. In geometry, a point is used to define other geometric figures such as lines, planes, and shapes. It is the fundamental building block in spatial representation and serves as a basic element for mathematical calculations and analysis.

    A _______ is a line with a starting point but no end point (it goes to infinity).

    • A line

    • A ray

    • A line segment

    • A point

    Correct Answer
    A. A ray
    Explanation
    A ray is a line with a starting point but no end point. It extends infinitely in one direction. Unlike a line segment, which has two distinct endpoints, a ray only has one endpoint. This allows the ray to continue indefinitely in the direction away from the endpoint. Therefore, a ray is the correct answer for a line with a starting point but no end point.

    A straight line that goes on forever in one direction?

    • A point

    • A line segment

    • A ray

    • A line

    Correct Answer
    A. A ray
    Explanation
    A ray is a straight line that starts at a specific point and extends infinitely in one direction. Unlike a line segment, which has two endpoints, a ray only has one endpoint. Therefore, a ray is the correct answer as it fits the description of a straight line that goes on forever in one direction.

    A plane has _______ dimensions.

    • Zero

    • One

    • Two

    • Five

    Correct Answer
    A. Two
    Explanation
    A plane itself is a two-dimensional object defined by its length and width. However, when considering movements or positions in relation to a plane, we can introduce a third dimension, allowing objects to move or be positioned above, below, or through the plane. Therefore, while a plane is inherently two-dimensional, our understanding of the world around us is three-dimensional, and objects can interact with a plane in a three-dimensional context.

    The following are types of lines. (check all answers that are correct)

    • Ray

    • Segment

    • Straight

    • Circle

    • Curved

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Ray
    A. Segment
    A. Straight
    A. Curved
    Explanation
    The question is asking to select the types of lines from the given options. A ray is a line with a starting point but no end point, a segment is a line with both a starting point and an end point, a straight line is a line that extends infinitely in both directions, and a curved line is a line that is not straight. Therefore, Ray, Segment, Straight, and Curved are all correct types of lines. Circle, however, is not a type of line as it is a closed shape formed by a curved line.
