Andria wrote the following statements: Statement 1: If parallel lines have a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent. Statement 2: A line has an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions. Which geometry term does each statement represent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Statement 1: definition; Statement 2: theorem Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: definition Statement 1: postulate; Statement 2: theorem Statement 1: theorem; Statement 2: postulate

In a geometry classroom, what does the term "line" mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is a plane that goes in both directions infinitely

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

a line and a plane are two different things

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but you have the "infinitely" part correct

Oh so the line is a structure on the plane that goes in both directions infinitely ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

a line is like a 2D component while a plane is 3D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh i see =)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

example a plane could be a flat paper a line is a straight line on the paper

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

imagine each extend infinitely out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh i see =)
