Which of the following statements is true about rays?
OA. They are zero-dimensional objects
B. They are one-dimensional objects,
OC. They are three-dimensional objects
OD. They are two-dimensional objects

Sagot :

Answer:  B. They are one-dimensional objects

This applies to line segments and lines as well.

One dimensional objects are such that they only have one component to them when it comes to determining a location on that object.

For instance, a number line is one dimensional because we only need one number to determine where a location is.

A ray is effectively a half-line, or put another way, a line is the combination of two rays glued together. Basically a ray points forever in one direction only, as a line will point in two opposite directions.

Extra side notes:

  • I can't think of any zero dimensional objects off the top of my head.
  • 3D space is a 3 dimensional object because we need 3 coordinates to determine an exact location.
  • A flat 2D plane is a 2 dimensional object because we need 2 coordinates to determine a location.
