Question

In the form of a paragraph, explain the difference between a ray and a segment. Include, in your explanation, a physical description of each defined term. Complete your work in the space provided or upload a file that can display math symbols if your work requires it.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Segment

A segment is a line that has 2 end points. We can measure the segment length. A segment is represented by
`\overline{AB}\\` where A and b are the two end points of the segment.

Ray

A ray is an line that has one end point and one point goes in infinity. We cannot measure ray as it's one end goes to infinity. A ray is represented by
`\overrightarrow{AB}` where A is the end point and B is the infinite point.

Figures of ray and segment are attached.
