Answer 1

Each of the figures should be classified as a line, ray, or line segment as follows;

a. Line segment ↔ line segment AB.

b. Line ↔ line CD.

c. Ray ↔ ray FE.

In Mathematics and Euclidean geometry, a line is a mark with length and direction, that is created by a point that is moving across a surface and extending infinitely such as line CD.

A line segment is the part of a line in a geometric figure that is bounded by two distinct points. This ultimately implies that, a line segment typically has a fixed length such as line segment AB.

A ray is composed of two points that are joined by a straight line and it extends infinitely in a single direction such as ray FE.

Answer 2

Given:

There are 3 figures given in the question

Required:

We need to identify the figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Line:

Line has no endpoint

Ray:

Ray has 1 endpoint

Line segment:

Line segment have 2 endpoints

Final answer:

a is line segment

b is line

c is ray
