To examine: The postulate that two lines intersect in exactly one point.

Answer to Problem 1CE
The postulate 6 through any two points there is exactly one line.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
It states that two lines intersect in exactly one point. The diagram suggests what would happen if you tried to show two “lines" drawn through two points.
Formula used:
The two lines intersect only in one point
Calculation:
Refer to the figure provided in the text book.
Consider the below statement and the figure associated with it
Theorem 1-1 states that two lines intersect only in one point.
The diagram suggest what would happen if you tried to show two lines drawn through two points.
State the postulate that makes this situation impossible
From Postulate 6,
Through any two points there is exactly one line
Hence, the answer is “postulate 6 through any two points there is exactly one line.”
Conclusion:
The postulate 6 through any two points there is exactly one line.

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
