Which vector object type is characterized as being one-dimensional?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which type of vector object is defined as one-dimensional, providing multiple choice options. The focus is on understanding the properties of different vector objects in geometry or GIS.
Answer
A line or a straight line segment is one-dimensional.
A line or a straight line segment is characterized as a one-dimensional vector object.
Answer for screen readers
A line or a straight line segment is characterized as a one-dimensional vector object.
More Information
In vector mathematics, a one-dimensional vector is effectively described by its length and the direction along a single line. This makes lines perfect examples of one-dimensional objects.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing one-dimensional vectors with scalars. Scalars have magnitude only, while one-dimensional vectors have both magnitude and direction.
