Math Problem Statement
Comprehension check: Write TRUE if the statement is always true. Otherwise, write FALSE.
Solution
Here are the answers to the exercise:
- True: A point has no size. (This is a fundamental concept in geometry.)
- True: A line segment has definite length. (Line segments are finite and measurable.)
- False: A ray's length can be measured. (A ray extends infinitely in one direction.)
- True: A line consists of an infinite number of points. (A line is composed of countless points.)
- True: A plane has an infinite number of lines. (Planes extend infinitely and contain infinitely many lines.)
- False: is the same as . (Order matters in vectors; they have opposite directions.)
- True: The endpoint of is point . (The endpoint of a ray is the final point.)
- False: A plane has length, width, and thickness. (Planes are two-dimensional, with only length and width.)
- False: If and have a common endpoint, then they are opposite rays. (This is not necessarily true unless are collinear, and is between and .)
- True: If and are opposite rays, then lies between and . (Opposite rays start from a common endpoint and extend in opposite directions.)

5 Relative Questions:
- What are the differences between a line, ray, and line segment in geometry?
- Why is the concept of direction important in vectors like ?
- Can a plane exist in three-dimensional space if it has only two dimensions?
- What determines if two rays with a common endpoint are opposite?
- How do infinite sets, like the points in a line, differ from finite sets in geometry?
Tip:
Always visualize the geometric concepts using diagrams—they make understanding abstract properties like infinity or dimensionality much easier!
