Concept explainers
Lining up (H). Suppose we have two line segments having identical length, one red and one blue. We begin with the two segments positioned one on top of the other. We then take the red segment, stretch, bend, shrink, and distort it without cutting, and place it on the blue line so that it does not hang off at either end. Must there be a point on the red line that is in its original position?
