A point has zero dimension and a line has 2?
You are apparently referring to the Cartesian system of assigning x, y, and z coordinates to map out the relationship of objects in space. a point has to occur somewhere - and to define its location in two dimensions (like in a floor plan) you need to provide an x and a y dimension. If you want to describe the location of a point in three dimensional space you also need to provide a height above the ground - the z coordinate. A line is simply the direct path between two points in space. Thus, to draw a line you need two points. If you are asking how to measure these with a ruler, a point has no dimension. A line has only 1 dimension.
Are there other dimensioons?
It all depends what you mean by dimensions - for example in geometry a point is said to have zero dimension a figure having length, such as a line has one dimension a plane or surface has two dimensions a figure having volume has three dimensions the fourth dimension is said to be time any other dimension can not be represented visually but may be dealt with mathematically
How many dimensions make up a line?
A line has one dimension- length. This is evident if we compare a line to a point and a plane figure. A point has no dimension; it merely marks a location. A plane figure, such as a square, circle, or triangle, has two dimensions. They have both length and height. A line is between a point and a plane figure. It has length, but it does not have width. ------------------------ 1 dimension. Here is a comparison of dimensions: 0 (dimension): Point 1: Lines 2: Plane 3: Solid, space 4+: Hypersurfaces, hypercubes, Klein bottles
What do two line segments with a common end point form?
No. They form an angle.
What is the difference between one dimensional and two dimensional?
One dimension has only one axis of possibilities. Motion in one dimension is motion on straight line. Two dimensions is motion on a plane. Two axes meet at right angles and extend in both directions. A point can be located anywhere that can be described as two points in this plane.
Does a point has zero dimension and a line has two?
It's true that a point has no dimensions. But a line has one dimension, not two. A plane has two dimensions, a solid has three, and that's about all that ordinary people can visualize.
Point is to line as line is to?
Plane. A point has no dimension, a line has one dimension, and a plane has two dimensions.
A point has one dimension and a line has two?
false
What three things are represented by a plane?
A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three-dimensional space.
A point has zero deminsion and a line has two?
Point, zero; line, one: length but no width

Is any shape a shape?
Anything that has two dimensions and is completely closed is a shape (as opposed to a line which as one dimension, or a point which has zero). A property of these shapes will be that they all have length and height with which area can be calculated.

Does a point have dimensions?
No; points are dimensionless, having neither height nor width nor breadth. Points mark specific locations, but they take up no space in any location. Euclid, the founder of geometry, defines a point as 'that which has no part' because only things with at least one dimension can be divided into parts.
How do you say .002?
Point nought nought two or point zero zero two.

Is a ray a zero or two dementintional?
A ray is the beam of light from a distant object. The word is related to the Latin word radius. It has one dimension, length, from a start point to a finish point.
