Question 50

Question. 50

Is it possible for the same (a) line segment to have two different lengths? (b) angle to have two different measures?

Answer:

(a) No    (b) No

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: Understand a line segment

A line segment joins two fixed points.

Write it as: \(\overline{AB}\).

The distance between A and B is fixed.

So the same \(\overline{AB}\) cannot be both 5 cm and 6 cm.

If the length changes, it is not the same segment.

Conclusion for (a): One segment ⟶ one unique length.


Step 2: Understand an angle

An angle is formed by two fixed rays with a common vertex.

Write it as: \(\angle AOB\).

The opening between the rays OA and OB is fixed.

So the same \(\angle AOB\) cannot be both \(45^\circ\) and \(50^\circ\).

If the measure changes, it is not the same angle.

Conclusion for (b): One angle ⟶ one unique measure.


Final: (a) No. (b) No.
