In geometry, how do defined terms and undefined terms relate to each other?
mart [117]
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. 

<span>POINT (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a point has no dimension (actual size). Even though we represent a point with a dot, the point has no length, width, or thickness. A point is usually named with a capital letter. In the coordinate plane, a point is named by an ordered pair, (x,y). </span>

<span>LINE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions. A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends without end in two directions. A line is named by a single lowercase written letter or by two points on the line with an arrow drawn above them. </span>

<span>PLANE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a plane has no thickness but extends indefinitely in all directions. Planes are usually represented by a shape that looks like a tabletop or wall. Even though the diagram of a plane has edges, you must remember that the plane has no boundaries. A plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by three non-collinear points (plane ABC). </span>

<span>Undefined terms can be combined to define other terms. Noncollinear points, for example, are points that do not lie on the same line. A line segment is the portion of a line that includes two particular points and all points that lie between them, while a ray is the portion of a line that includes a particular point, called the end point, and all points extending infinitely to one side of the end point. </span>

<span>Defined terms can be combined with each other and with undefined terms to define still more terms. An angle, for example, is a combination of two different rays or line segments that share a single end point. Similarly, a triangle is composed of three noncollinear points and the line segments that lie between them. </span>

<span>Everything else builds on these and adds more information to this base. Those added things include all the theorems and other "defined" terms like parallelogram or acute angle. </span>

Give the domain and range.
yaroslaw [1]

Given:

The graph.

To find:

The domain and range of the graph.

Solution:

The three points on the graph are (-3,3), (0,0) and (3,3).

We know that, domain is the set of input values or x-values. So,

Domain = {-3,0,3}

We know that, Range is the set of output values or y-values. So, elements for range are 3,0,3. But a set contains only distinct elements. So, consider 3 once in range.

Range = {0,3}

Therefore, the correct option is b.

Help geometry question
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

43 and (4x+3) are vertical angles, which mean they are equal

so, 43=(4x+3)

  43-3=(4x+3-3)

     40=(4x)

  40/4=4x/4

      10=x
