Question

do a line segment and a Ray always intersect eachother? justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines will not intersect; if:

(i) they are parallel to one another.

or, (ii) they are skewed to one another (in three-dimensional system).

Now, the question is about a line segment and a ray. Length of a line segment is limited in both sides against a line which is infinitely long. The stretch of a ray has no limitation in the direction it is pointing at, while it is limited in the direction of the origin of the ray.

So, apart from those two above points, the limitation in lengths of the line segment and the ray will also be a factor in this case.
