Question

Which of the following best describes the correct definition of the term?

A. Aline has no dimension and is one of the undefined terms of geometry.
B. A ray is a straight arrangements of points extending without end in opposite directions.
C.A point is part of a line that consists of a point called an endpoint and all points on the line that extend in one direction.
D. Aline segment is a part of a line that consists of two points called endpoints and all of the points between those endpoints

Answer 1

The correct definition is D, which describes a line segment as part of a line bounded by two endpoints with all points between them. A ray, mentioned in option B, extends infinitely in one direction, while a line has no endpoints.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct definition from the options provided for a geometrical term is D. A line segment is a part of a line that consists of two points called endpoints and all of the points between those endpoints. This definition correctly describes a line segment, as it is limited by its two endpoints. In contrast, a ray is correctly defined as a straight arrangement of points that extends infinitely in one direction from an endpoint. It starts at an endpoint and goes off in a particular direction to infinity. A line extends without end in both directions and has no endpoints, which makes options A and B incorrect. A point has no dimension, therefore, option C cannot define a point since it mentions an endpoint and other points extending in one direction, which describes a ray.
