Q11 - Geometry

Question

From the following figure, name the ray opposite to $\overrightarrow{SP}$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The ray $\overrightarrow{ST}$ is opposite to $\overrightarrow{SP}$.

Step 1. Define ray.

A ray has one end point and another end goes to infinity.

Step 2. Check the figure.

Consider the figure.

As the ray $\overrightarrow{SP}$ has one end point that is $S$ and it goes to negative infinity.

Step 3. find the ray opposite to SP.

Since the one end of the ray $\overrightarrow{SP}$ goes negative infinity thus from the figure, there is only one ray that have one end that goes to positive infinity and that ray is $\overrightarrow{ST}$.

 

Ray $\overrightarrow{ST}$ has one end point that is S and it goes to positive infinite.

 

Thus, the ray $\overrightarrow{ST}$ is opposite to $\overrightarrow{SP}$.
