Q1 Beginner 1 pts

What is the purpose of naming points in geometry? Video Reference:
"They help us describe specific locations in space, like the end of the line, or the corner of a squa..."

Timestamp: 0:45

To make the points look more interesting To help describe specific locations in space To make the points easier to draw To give the points personality

Q2 Intermediate 2 pts

What is the difference between a line and a line segment? Video Reference:
"A line-segment has a beginning and an end. It starts at one point in space, and it ends at another. ..."

Timestamp: 2:00

A line segment has a beginning and an end, while a line goes on forever. A line segment is curved, while a line is straight. A line segment is longer than a line. A line segment is thicker than a line.

Q3 Beginner 1 pts

How many points are required to define a plane in geometry? Video Reference:
"In order to make a plane, it turns out that you need to have three points...."

Timestamp: 4:00

1 2 3 4

Q4 Intermediate 2 pts

True or False: A triangle is the same as a plane in geometry. Video Reference:
"You can't think of a triangle as a smaller part (or a segment) of a plane. but the plane itself keep..."

Timestamp: 4:30

True

False

Q5 Intermediate 2 pts

Which of the following are characteristics of a ray in geometry? (Select all that apply) Video Reference:
"Rays have beginning points, but no ending points. They just keep on going forever... but only in one..."

Timestamp: 3:00

Select all correct answers

Has a beginning point Has an ending point Extends infinitely in one direction Extends infinitely in both directions

Q6 Beginner 1 pts

True or False: A line is a one-dimensional object, while a plane is a two-dimensional object. Video Reference:
"A line, on the other hand, is a one-dimensional object. If you're on a line, like 'line AB', there's..."

Timestamp: 3:00

True

False

Q7 Advanced 3 pts

"In a three-dimensional space, there's three dimensions you can move in. left to right, up and down, ..."

Timestamp: 5:00

Select all correct answers

A computer screen A line A plane The real world

Q8 Beginner 1 pts

What is the shorthand way of writing a line segment in geometry? Video Reference:
"Instead of writing 'line-segment AB' you can just write 'AB' with a line over the top...."

Timestamp: 2:30
