Question

Write the difference between:
(a) A line and a line segment
(b) A ray and a line segment​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Line:

   A line can be named either using two points on the line.

  Line segment:

  A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the line between them.

b) Line segment:

   A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the line between them.

   Ray:

   A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on infinitely in only one direction.

 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a line and line segment and a ray

line is a collection of points extending in two opposite directions. When we draw lines in geometry, we use an arrow at each end to show that it extends infinitely.A line can be named either using two points on the line (for example, AB←→ ) or simply by a letter, usually lowercase (for example, line m ).

b) A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the line between them. You can measure the length of a segment, but not of a line.A segment is named by its two endpoints, for example, AB⎯⎯.

c) A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on infinitely in only one direction. You cannot measure the length of a ray.A ray is named using its endpoint first, and then any other point on the ray (for example, BA−→ ).
