Lesson 1.1: Euclidean Geometry

Question 5 • (A. Costello)WCA 5324 Geometry 1st Nine Weeks 26-27

Which best describes the dimensions of a line?

Answer
A
A line has zero dimensions because it represents a location on the coordinate plane.
B
A line has one dimension because it is made up of all points that extend infinitely in either direction.
C
A line has two dimensions because it is made up of three noncollinear points.
D
A line has multiple dimensions depending on how many labeled points it contains.

Explanation

A line has one dimension: length. It extends infinitely in both directions, but it has no width or thickness. A location on the coordinate plane is a point, which has zero dimensions, so choice B, “a line has one dimension,” is correct.
