Do points have dimension the edges of points that are very close together can sometimes overlap?

We have no other way to "draw" points than to put down a blob of ink or pencil lead, with dimensions,
just so it's visible on the paper. But technically, those are not points. Mathematically, a real "point" has
only a location, but no dimensions.
Two points can have different locations, or they can have the same location. If they have the same location,
then they coincide. If they have different locations, then they don't coincide. They can't partly overlap, because
there's no such thing as "part" of a point.
If anybody ever succeeded in drawing a real point on paper, you couldn't see it, because it has no size.

True or false Because they have no dimension two points that are very close together will never overlap?
falsetrue
What one dimensional shapes have infinite leingth?
A line is a series of points extending infinitely in opposite directions. Because a single point has no dimension we get only one dimension when we line the points up.
What do you create when you overlap a horizontal number line and a vertical number line?
you would get a grid that you can plot points on.
To solve a system of inequalities graphically you just need to graph each inequality and see which points are in the overlap of the graphs?
True
Is a CD a circle or a cylinder?
A CD, because it exists in our dimension, has three distinct points you can measure therefor it is a cylinder.

True or false Because they have dimension the edges of points that are very close together can sometimes overlap?
False. Edges, being one-dimensional, cannot physically overlap in a three-dimensional space, even if the points connected by those edges happen to be close together. Each edge has a distinct path and cannot occupy the same space as another edge simultaneously.
If a point has no dimension and a line is made up of points and has dimesnsions how can this be?
A line is not made up of points for the very reason that points have no dimension. It is absolutely impossible for things with no dimension, so matter how many are added, to ever equal something of one dimension. It is easy to think of points as dots. Dots, however, are only representations of points to help us visualize pints. Although many dots added together can make a line, points cannot.
What is a dimension of a point?
Points are dimensionless.
What is an example of a scientific investigation that involves scientists from different branches working together?
Atomic physics and chemistry overlap considerably. Perhaps the best example of this occurred in 1908 when Ernest Rutherford, a physicist, was given the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

Because they have a definite size two points can overlap and not be equal.?
B. False APEX...:)
When contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic map what does it indicate?
it connects to the points of Hawaii and Alaska

Do angles planes segments points line and rays have one dimension and infinite length?
No.
Area between 2 points including thos 2 points?
An area can not be defined unless there are at minimum 3 distinct points defined. What you have with two points is a line, or line segment, which are of 1 dimension.
