Math Problem Statement

Source: Lumos StepUp Programs - PARCC and SBAC

Common Core State Standard: 4.G.1 Domain: Geometry Theme: Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles Standard Description: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

Which one of the following statements is true about a point?

Solution

A point in geometry is an exact location in space with no size, length, width, or depth. It is typically represented by a dot and labeled with a capital letter.

So, the true statement about a point would be:

  • A point has no dimension; it only represents a location in space.

Would you like details or have any questions? Here are some related questions for deeper understanding:

  1. What is the difference between a line segment and a ray?
  2. How do you classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse?
  3. Can you give examples of parallel and perpendicular lines in real life?
  4. What is the difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures?
  5. How can we use points to draw shapes and angles?

Tip: Remember, a point is the simplest element in geometry, serving as the basis for constructing lines, shapes, and angles.
