Understand the problem

What can be found in the following figure?

2

Step-by-step solution

Since in the drawing there are only lines that are not connected to any other line, they do not form an angle or shape, therefore it is not possible to find in the drawing a ray, an angle, or a vertex.

Final Answer

✗ corner

✗ angle

✗ vertex

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Definition: Angles form only where two lines meet at a point
  • Recognition: Three separate lines create no intersections = no angles
  • Verification: Check each line pair for connection points ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Assuming separate lines create angles
    Don't think that having multiple lines automatically means angles exist = wrong identification! Lines must physically meet at a point to form an angle. Always check if lines actually intersect before identifying geometric elements.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why don't these three lines create any angles?

+

An angle requires two lines (or rays) to meet at exactly one point. In this figure, all three lines are separate - they don't touch each other anywhere!

What's the difference between a corner, angle, and vertex?

+

These terms all describe the same thing - the point where two lines meet! A vertex is the mathematical term, while corner and angle are more everyday words for the same concept.

Could these lines form angles if extended?

+

The question asks what can be found in the figure as shown. Even if extending the lines might create intersections, we can only identify what's actually visible in the drawing.

How do I identify if lines intersect?

+

Look for any point where two or more lines cross each other. If you can't find such a point, the lines are separate and form no angles or vertices.

What can I find in this figure then?

+

You can identify three individual lines! Each line has length and direction, but since they don't connect, no angles, vertices, or corners are formed.
