A ray is defined as a piece of a line that has one end point and the other end extends infinitely i.e., option D is correct.

Further explanation:

In geometry the three terms which are considered to be undefined are line, point and plane. From these three undefined terms the other terms in the geometry are defined.

A ray is defined as a piece of line which starts from one point and the other end extends indefinitely in the other direction.

There are four options given out of which one option is to be marked as the correct answer.

Option A:

In the option A it is given that a ray is defined as a piece of line with two end points.

The above statement which defines the ray is completely incorrect because a ray cannot have it’s both ends fixed. The piece of a line which has its both ends fixed is called a line segment.

For a ray one end is fixed and the other end extends continuously.

This implies that option A is incorrect.

Option B:

In the option B it is given that a ray is defined as a collection of all such points which are equidistant from a given point.

The above statement which defined the ray is completely incorrect because the collection of all the points which are equidistant from a given point is called circle.

This implies that option B is incorrect.

Option C:

In the option C it is given that a ray is defined as a two line segments with a common endpoint.

The above statement which defined the ray is completely incorrect because when two line segments are joined with a common endpoint it does not form a ray.

This implies that option C is incorrect.

Option D:

In the option D it is given that a ray is defined as a piece of a line that has one end point and the other end extends infinitely.

The above statement which defines the ray is completely correct because a ray has one end point and the other end extends continuously.

This implies that option D is correct.

Therefore, a ray is defined as a piece of a line that has one end point and the other end extends infinitely i.e., option D is correct.

Please help me.Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below​
blagie [28]

There is an isosceles triangle.

The triangle is like two right triangles put together.

To find out the height of the triangle, we remove the other right triangle and we use the other triangle to find the height using the Pythagorean theorem.

Phytagoras Theorem :

b² = c² - a²

x² = 8² - (6÷2)²

x² = 64 - 3²

x² = 64 - 9

x² = 55

x = √55

So, the value of x is √55 (B)

There are two twins. One twin wants to explore the planet near Proxima Centauri and leaves on a spaceship traveling at 90% of th
miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>4.7 years</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of planet from Earth = 1.3 parsec

We know that 1 parsec = 3.26 light years

And a light year is the distance traveled by light in time period of 1 year.

So, Distance of planet from Earth = 1.3 \times 3.26 = 4.24 light years

Given that, the person travels at a speed equal to 90% of the light speed.

To travel to the planet from Earth, Light takes 4.24 years.

To travel the distance D, at a speed s light takes time of 4.24 years.

To travel the distance D, at a speed 0.90s, the person takes time:

\dfrac{4.24}{0.90} = \bold{4.7\ years}

So, the twin on Earth ages by <em>4.7 years.</em>

4[( 8 + 4)10] + 24 devided by 2^3
Nikolay [14]
4[(8+4)10] + 24
so 8 + 4 is 12. Multiply that by 10 and that's 120.
120 + 24 is 144
144 × 4 is 576
for "devided by 2^3" do you mean divided by 2/3?
If so then its 576 ÷ 2/3 = 96

What is the 5th term of the geometric sequence 3/20,3/2,15...?
puteri [66]
Common ratio, r = (3/2)/(3/20) = 10.

3/20,   3/2,  15, 

4th term = 15*10 = 150

5th term = 150*10 = 1500

5th term = 1500
