To determine

To find: whether the statement is true or false using the diagram.

Answer to Problem 6CT

It is false that $A,R\text{ and }B$ are collinear.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  

Concept used:

Three or more points that lie on a same straight line are called collinear points.

If two the points are collinear then $a=kb$ .

Calculation:

Three or more points that lie on a same straight line are called collinear points.

If two the points are collinear then $a=kb$ .

  $A,R\text{ and }B$ are not all on the same line therefore, they all are not collinear.

Hence, it is false that $A,R\text{ and }B$ are collinear.
