Line Plot to Organize Data
Key Concepts
- Prepare a line plot to organize the data
Introduction
Measure
We can measure the length of an object.
Example:
Measure the length of the object.
Solution:
Place the object on a ruler and measure the actual length.
So, the length of the brush is 7 centimeters.
Data
Measure all the lengths of the object and use a table to record that data.
Example:
Measure all the lengths of the object and use a table to record that data.
Solution:
The lengths of the objects are measured, and the table shows the different lengths of the objects.
We can show the data in a line plot which is shown in the table. Place a dot over the number that shows each length.
Example:
Measure the length of the object.
Solution:
Place the object on a ruler and measure the actual length.
So, the length of the object is 4 centimeters.
Example:
Measure the length of the object.
Solution:
Place the object on a ruler and measure the actual length.
So, the length of the object is 6 centimeters.
Example:
Measure the length of the object.
Solution:
Place the object on a ruler and measure the actual length.
So, the length of the object is 6 centimeters.

What is an Obtuse Angle? In geometry, an angle that is greater than 90 degrees but lesser than 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle. We can easily recognize an obtuse angle because it extends past a right angle. Obtuse angle explained in detail with examples but first learn about angles. Type of Angles Geometry […]

A line is a straight, one-dimensional figure that extends endlessly in both directions in geometry. It has no starting and ending points. When we define a starting point but not an ending point of a line, it is called a ray. Another important term associated with the line is a line segment. Line Segment Definition […]
