Question

Which statement is true about the segment connecting points b and c?

a. there are only two points on the entire segment
b. the segment extends infinitely in both directions
c. there is only one way to name the segment
d. the segment has finite length that can be measured

Answer 1

d. the segment has a finite length that can be measured

Answer 2

Option: d is the correct answer.

d. the segment has finite length that can be measured.

Explanation:

We know that a line segment is a line that has both the end points.

Also, the length of such a segment is finite since both the end points are known and with the help of the distance formula we may easily get to know the length of the segment.

Distance formula says that the distance between the points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by:

`Distance=√((c-a)^2+(d-b)^2)`

Hence, the statement that is true about the segment connecting points b and c is:

d. the segment has finite length that can be measured
