Question

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F):- a. Only one ray can be drawn with a given initial point. ______ b. A line is longer than a line segment._______ A) Geometry Statements B) True or False Exercise C) Spatial Concepts D) None of the above

Answer 1

The first statement is false as multiple rays can be drawn from a single initial point. The second statement is true as a line is indeed longer than a line segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometry 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gê) 'earth, land', and (métron) 'a measure') is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.

The provided statements relate to geometric concepts and they can be answered as follows:

1. Only one ray can be drawn with a given initial point. False (F). Multiple rays can be drawn from a single initial point, each in a different direction.
2. A line is longer than a line segment. True (T). A line extends indefinitely in both directions, while a line segment has a definite start and end point.
