- C.
Congruent line
- D.
Line segment
Correct Answer
D. Line segmentExplanation
A line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints. It is a finite portion of a line that can be measured and has a definite length. Unlike a ray, which extends infinitely in one direction, a line segment has a specific starting point and ending point. A parallel line refers to a line that never intersects with another line, while congruent lines have the same length and shape. Therefore, the correct answer is line segment, as it accurately describes a part of a line with two endpoints.Rate this question:

Intersecting line
Correct Answer
B. LineExplanation
A line is a straight path that continues infinitely in both directions. It has no endpoints and extends indefinitely. Unlike a line segment, which has two distinct endpoints, a line has no limitations on its length. A ray is a portion of a line that starts at a particular point and extends infinitely in one direction. An intersecting line refers to two or more lines that cross each other at a specific point. Therefore, the correct answer is "Line" because it describes a straight path that continues indefinitely in both directions.Rate this question:

Lines that do not cross
- A.
Intersecting lines
- B.
Rays
- C.
Parallel Lines
- D.
Line segments
Correct Answer
C. Parallel LinesExplanation
Parallel lines are lines that never intersect each other. They have the same slope and will continue in the same direction indefinitely. This means that no matter how far they are extended, they will never cross each other. In contrast, intersecting lines cross each other at a single point, rays have a starting point and extend infinitely in one direction, and line segments have a starting and ending point and do not extend indefinitely. Therefore, the correct answer is parallel lines.Rate this question:

A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel lines
- A.
Rhombus
- B.
Square
- C.
Trapezoid
- D.
Rectangle
Correct Answer
C. TrapezoidExplanation
A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel lines is called a trapezoid. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides, while the other two sides are not parallel. This distinguishes it from a rhombus, which has all four sides equal in length but no parallel sides, and a square, which has all four sides equal in length and all four sides parallel. A rectangle, on the other hand, has all four angles equal to 90 degrees, but it also has two pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, the correct answer is trapezoid.Rate this question:
