Yes, this statement is true. However, it is controversial between Euclid and Lobachevsky. In Euclid, this is alwaystrue. In Lobachevsky, however, this could be both true and untrue. Did this help?

In Euclidean geometry if there is a line and a point not on the line then there is exactly one line through the point and the parallel to the given line. True or false?

True. In Euclidean geometry, if there is a line and a point not on that line, there exists exactly one line that can be drawn through the point that is parallel to the given line. This is known as the Parallel Postulate, which states that for a given line and a point not on it, there is one and only one line parallel to the given line that passes through the point.


Do Through a point not on a line one and only one line always can be drawn parallel to the given line?

True


How many lines can be drawn passing through two given line?

Through two given lines, there can be either zero, one, or infinitely many lines that can be drawn, depending on their relationship. If the two lines are parallel, no line can pass through both. If they intersect, exactly one line can be drawn through their intersection point. If they are coincident (the same line), then infinitely many lines can be drawn through them.


What does the following Define through a given point not a given line there is exactly one line parallel to the given line?

The statement means that through any point not located on a given line, there is exactly one line that can be drawn that is parallel to the original line. This is a fundamental concept in Euclidean geometry, often referred to as the Parallel Postulate. It asserts that the parallel line will never intersect the given line, maintaining a constant distance apart from it. This principle underlies many geometric constructions and proofs.


How many lines are parallel to a given line through a given point?

How do you negate the euclidean parallel postulate?

Assume there are no lines through a given point that is parallel to a given line or assume that there are many lines through a given point that are parallel to a given line. There exist a line l and a point P not on l such that either there is no line m parallel to l through P or there are two distinct lines m and n parallel to l through P.

The Playfair Axiom (or "Parallel Postulate")


What postulate is not of euclidean geometry?

Euclidean Geometry is based on the premise that through any point there is only one line that can be drawn parallel to another line. It is based on the geometry of the Plane. There are basically two answers to your question: (i) Through any point there are NO lines that can be drawn parallel to a given line (e.g. the geometry on the Earth's surface, where a line is defined as a great circle. (Elliptic Geometry) (ii) Through any point, there is an INFINITE number of lines that can be drawn parallel of a given line. (I think this is referred to as Riemannian Geometry, but someone else needs to advise us on this) Both of these are fascinating topics to study.


Point A lies outside of plane P. How many planes can be drawn parallel to plane P that pass through point A?

There is exactly one plane that can be drawn parallel to plane P that passes through point A. Since parallel planes share the same orientation and direction, any plane that is parallel to plane P must maintain the same angle and distance from the points on plane P. Therefore, the plane through point A will be uniquely defined and parallel to plane P.


How many lines can be drawn perpendicular to a given like through a point not on the given line?

Who restated Euclid's 5th postulate?

Probably the best known equivalent of Euclid's parallel postulate, contingent on his other postulates, is Playfair's axiom, named after the Scottish mathematician John Playfair, which states:In a plane, given a line and a point not on it, at most one line parallel to the given line can be drawn through the point.
