Question

It appears as if points P, X, and T might lie on a straight line. Use a ruler or the edge of a sheet of paper to see if they do.

Short answer

The straight line does not contain the points P, X and T.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Make an analysis of diagram.

It is clear that the points P and X are making a straight line of 5 cm so it is true that P and Xare present on the same line.

Step 2. Put the sheet of paper on diagram.

Place the sheet of the paper so that one side makes a straight line for the points P, X, and T.

Step 3. Observe the figure.

The side of the sheet of paper covers only point P and X so the straight line does not contain the points P, X, and T.
