Chapter 1: Q12. (page 15)

In the following diagram $\bar{H L}$ and $\overset{\leftrightarrow}{K T}$ intersect at the midpoint of $\bar{H L}$ . Classify the following statement as true or false.
$\vec{K T}$ is the same as $\vec{K M}$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The statement “ $\vec{K T}$ is same as $\vec{K M}$ ”is true.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Check the figure.

Consider the figure.

Step 2. Apply the concept of rays.

A ray is a part of a line and can be extended infinitely in one direction. Since a ray has 1 end fixed, thus a ray has one endpoint.

Step 3. Step description.

Here $\vec{K T}$ and $\vec{K M}$ both represent rays with the common starting point $K$ .

Since both the rays have the same common point thus, they can be extended infinitely in the same direction. Therefore, both the rays are the same.

Therefore, the statement “ $\vec{K T}$ is same as $\vec{K M}$ ” is true.
