In summary, the conditional statement "If two different lines intersect, then their intersection is a point" is true and its converse is also true. This can be written as a true biconditional, making statement II the correct answer.

is true.

The statement can also be written as "If the intersection of two lines is a point, then the lines must be different and they intersect." This statement is a biconditional, meaning it is true if and only if both the conditional statement and it's converse are true. Therefore, statement II is also correct.

Statement III is false because the conditional statement is true. When two lines intersect, their intersection must be a point. So, the statement cannot be false.

In conclusion, both statements I and II are true, while statement III is false.
 

FAQ: Which statement about intersecting lines is true?

What is geometry?

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of shapes, sizes, positions, and dimensions of objects in space.

What are the basic elements of geometry?

The basic elements of geometry include points, lines, angles, planes, and solids. These elements are used to describe and analyze the properties of geometric figures.

What is the difference between Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometry?

Euclidean geometry is based on the set of axioms and postulates developed by the ancient Greek mathematician, Euclid. It deals with the properties of flat or two-dimensional shapes, such as triangles and circles. Non-Euclidean geometry, on the other hand, is a more modern approach that explores the properties of curved or three-dimensional shapes, such as spheres and hyperbolic surfaces.

How is geometry used in real life?

Geometry has numerous real-life applications, including architecture, engineering, art and design, navigation, and even sports. It helps us understand and create structures, maps, and patterns in our surroundings.

What are the different types of geometric transformations?

The different types of geometric transformations include translation, rotation, reflection, dilation, and combination of these transformations. These transformations are used to change the position, size, or orientation of a geometric figure while preserving its shape and properties.
