The correct option is $\boxed{{\mathbf{Option B}}}$ .

Further explanation:

A line is straight one dimensional figure that can be extended from both the ends whereas the line with fixed both end is called line segment.

Step by step explanation:

Now we have to choose the right options among the given option.

Step 1:

Option A: A line has zero dimensional because it represents a location on the coordinate plane.

A line cannot be zero dimensions.

A point has not dimension as it represents a location on the coordinate plane.

Thus, option A is not correct.

Step 2:

Option B: A line has one dimension because it is made up of all points that extend infinitely in either direction.

A line is straight one dimensional figure that can be extended from both the ends.

Thus, option B is correct.

Step 3:

Option C: A line has two dimensions because it is made up of three non collinear points.

As it has been proved that a line has one dimension.

The two dimensional figures are called shapes such as circle, square, rectangle.

Thus, option C is not correct.

Step 4:

Option D: A line has multiple dimensions depending on how many labeled points it contains.

As it has been proved that a line has one dimension.

The multiple dimensional figures are in the spaces.

Thus, option D is not correct.

The correct answer is B) One dimension. A point, not a line, has no dimension (A: A line has zero dimensions because it represents a location on the coordinate plane), shapes or a plane, not a line, have two dimensions (C:A line has two dimensions because it is made up of three noncollinear points), space itself can have 3, 4 or more dimensions, and again, not a line (D:A line has multiple dimensions depending on how many labeled points it contains.).

On a coordinate plane, 2 polygons are shown. Polygon A B C D has points (1, negative 6), (5, negative 6), (6, negative 2), and (

Answer:

The correct option is;

Use a scale factor of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

A = (1, -6)

B = (5, -6)

C = (6, -2)

D = (0, -2)

A'' = (1.5, 4)

B'' = (3.5, 4)

C'' = (4, 2)

D'' = ( 1, 2)

We note that the length of side AB in polygon ABCD = √((5 -1)² + (-6 - (-6))²) = 4

The length of side A''B'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((3.5 -1.5)² + (4 - 4)²) = 2

Which gives;

AB/A''B'' = 4/2 = 2

Similarly;

The length of side BC in polygon ABCD = √((6 -5)² + (-2 - (-6))²) = √17

The length of side B''C'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((4 -3.5)² + (2 - 4)²) = (√17)/2

Also we have;

The length of side CD in polygon ABCD = √((6 -0)² + (-2 - (-2))²) = 6

The length of side C''D'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((4 -1)² + (2 - 2)²) = 3

For the side DA and D''A'', we have;

The length of side DA in polygon ABCD = √((1 -0)² + (-6 - (-2))²) = √17

The length of side D''A'' in polygon A''B''C''D'' = √((1.5 -1)² + (4 - 2)²) = (√17)/2

Therefore the Polygon A B C D can be obtained from polygon A''B''C''D'' by multiplying each side of polygon A''B''C''D'' by 2

The correct option is therefore;

Use a scale factor of 2.

Using the graph below, find values for the radius r, the angle theta (in both degrees and radians), and the coordinates for the

Leto [7]

if we take the centre of the circle as being the origin, we can say that

x coordinate is :cos o = x/r so x
= r cos o

and

y coordinate : cos(90-teta)= y/r
so y=r*cos(90-teta)

if teta is 29 degrees
y=r*cos(61)
and
x = r * cos(29)

2x + 2x +2 are the integers
4x^2 + 4x^2 +8x +4 =884 (The sum of the integers squared)
8 x^2 +8x -880 = 0

x = 10
Therefore, the integers are:

In a family there are five sons. The oldest son is 11 3/4 years old, and every next younger brother is younger than the next by

timama [110]

Answer:

the youngest brother is of 2 years and 5 months

if this rule still applies, the next son will be born in 2 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Oldest son= 11 3/4 years old = 11 years 3/4 (12) months = 11 years 9 months

Difference = 2 years 7/12(12) months = 2 years 7 moths

So for finding the age of youngest brother:

Subtract the difference others from age of oldest:

= 11 years 9 months - 4(2 years 7 months)

= 11 years 9 months - 9 years 4 months

= 2 years 5 months

So the youngest brother is of 2 years and 5 months

if this rule still applies, the next son will be born in 2 months.

i hope it will help you!
