Geometry of 1-Dimension
In this lesson we will take a look at the 3-Dimensional world we live in. Look at the image below. You will see two points.
A line has only one dimension --length. The line has no endpoints and extends forever in both directions. That is why when a line is drawn, we see arrows at both ends. On the other hand when we draw a line segment on a piece of paper it has endpoints.
Question 1: How many endpoints does a line segment have?
Questions 2: What is the figure below called?
The line, ray and line segment are all examples of 1-Dimensional objects since they only have length.

2: What is the length of line segment CD in Angstroms to the nearest hudredth?
