Which mathematical term cannot be precisely defined? line segment point circle ray

OpenStudy (alekos):

i'd say the last one

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Ray can definitely be defined

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

So not the last one. Can you define circle?

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

Yes.

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Okay so two left, can you define line segment or point?

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

yes.

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

which one? Only one can be defined, if you're stuck though I can help.

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

the answer is point

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

yes! Good job!

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

Thank you!!!!

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (alekos):

he doesnt know what hes talking about

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

?

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

Undefined terms: In geometry, definitions are formed using known words or terms to describe a new word. There are three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These three undefined terms are point, line and plane.

OpenStudy (alekos):

where did you get that baloney from

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

that's definitely true. I'm sure you found that in the lesson though and I think that's was Alekos was saying, you didn't understand it but you got it right.

OpenStudy (alekos):

i disagree. points, lines and circles can be mathematically defined with strict equations

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

not in the lessons off VLACS and FLVS

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

Ill tell you if I got it right when I finish the work

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

according to FLVS and VLACS, you can define everything from those options but "point"

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

I don't have a lesson really this is stuff I should already but I think it goes with the lessons for JCVS

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

You go to a virtual school right?

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

Yeah I'm retaking last yrs courses

OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):

Well, the answer is point, when your done just remember to come back to this and put in the comments that it's right just to make sure, so if other people look for the question it's there for reassurance.

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

okay I will

OpenStudy (sarhamby1227):

It was right
