Chapter 1: Q13WE. (page 25)

State whether it is possible for the figure described to exist. Write yes or no.

Two points both lie in every two lines.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, it is not possible that two points both lie in each of the two lines.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Write the postulate 6.

Postulate 6 states that exactly one line passes through any two points.

02

Step 2. Draw the diagram of the line passing through the two points A and B.

The figure represents a line passing through two pointsA andB is:

03

Step 3. State whether it is possible that two points both lie in each of two lines by considering postulate 6 and the above diagram.

From the diagram and postulate 6, it can be noticed that exactly one line can pass through any two points. Therefore, it is not possible that any two points can simultaneously lie on two different lines.

Therefore, it is not possible that two points both lie in each of the two lines.

You can think of the ceiling and floor or a room as parts of horizontal planes. The walls are parts of vertical planes. Vertical planes are represented by figures like those shown in which two sides are vertical. A horizontal plane is represented by a figure like that shown, with two sides horizontal and no sides vertical.
