Chapter 1: Q3 (page 14)

For the following figure, find $A B$ is the same as $B A$ or not.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, the segment $\bar{A B}$ is the same as the segment $B A$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Observe the figure.

Consider the figure.

Step 2. Apply the concept of the segment.

A segment has two defined ends that are the endpoints of the segment. That means a segment has 2 endpoints. A segment can be represented by taking two defined points.

Here, a segment $\bar{A B}$ has two endpoints A and B on it, and similarly, the segment $B A$ has two endpoints A and B.

Step 3. Relation between segment AB and BA.

Thus, the segment can be represented in both ways, $A B$ or $B A$ as the order of the segments doesn’t matter.

Therefore, $A B$ is the same, because both represent the same segment.
