1. A part of a line that has two endpoints?

Explanation

A line segment is a part of a line that has two distinct endpoints. It is a straight path between two points and does not extend indefinitely in either direction. Unlike a line, which continues infinitely in both directions, a line segment has a definite length and can be measured. Therefore, a line segment is the correct answer for this question.

Compare Points, Lines, Line Segments, And Rays - Quiz

This quiz will find out what you know about points, lines, line segments, and rays.

2. LineSegment What is this?

Explanation

A line segment is a straight path between two points that has a definite length. It is different from a line because it has a specific starting and ending point. In this case, the given image is showing a straight path with two distinct endpoints, indicating that it represents a line segment.

3. ___________ is an exact location. It has no size, only position. «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mo»§#9675;«/mo»«/math»«math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mo»§#8592;«/mo»«/math»?

Explanation

A point is an exact location in space that has no size or dimensions. It represents a specific position and does not have any length, width, or height. Unlike other options like a line, line segment, or ray, which have length and extend infinitely in one or both directions, a point is simply a single location in space.

Submit
4. A __________ is a location in space. point image

Explanation

A point is a location in space that has no size or dimension. It is represented by a dot and is used to indicate a specific position or coordinate in a geometric figure or system. Unlike other options like a line segment, ray, or line, a point does not have any length, width, or direction. It is simply a single position in space, making it the correct answer for this question.

5. What is this?

Explanation

A line has no ends! If it does have ends it would be called a "Line Segment".

6. A straight line that goes on forever in two directions? «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mo»§#8596;«/mo»«/math»

Explanation

A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. It has no endpoints and continues indefinitely. Unlike a line segment or a ray, a line does not have a specific starting or ending point. It can be thought of as a never-ending series of points that are all in a straight line.

Submit
7. A_______ is a line with a start point but no end point (it goes to infinity)

Explanation

If it has just one end it is called a "Ray"

Submit
8. What is this?

Explanation

The word "segment" is important, because a line normally extends in both directions without end.

Submit
9. A straight line that goes on forever in one direction?

Explanation

A ray is a straight line that extends infinitely in one direction from a specific point. It has a starting point but no ending point. This is different from a line segment, which has two distinct endpoints. Therefore, a ray is the correct answer for a straight line that goes on forever in one direction.

Submit
10. What are these called?

Explanation

The given options are lines, points, line segments, and rays. Out of these, points are the correct answer because they are the basic building blocks of geometry and have no dimensions or length. Lines, line segments, and rays are all made up of points, but points themselves do not have any length or width.
