Answer:

the rays are EA, FB, GC, ED, GH, EF, FG, and EG

Explanation:

A ray is a line segment that has a point on one end and an arrow on the other. Keep in mind if the line segment has an arrow at both ends it is not a ray, but a line.

To label a ray you need that starting point and then a secondary point in the direction that the ray has the arrow. So let's look at each poitn and determine if it is part of a ray.

A: A is not an end point, but if we follow the line away from the arrow we see we get to point E, So since there is point E at one end then an arrow at the other this is Ray EA, since A is the point between the starting point and the arrow.

B: Again, B is in the middle with F as the starting point, so this s Ray FB

C: C is between point G and an arrow so C is part of Ray GC

D: Part of Ray ED

E: We already have that it is part of ED and EA

F Part of Ray FB

G: Already have it is part of GC, but you can also see it is part of GH, so there is another ray GH

There is one more arrow, the one pointing to the right, and this one is a little tricky. It has three points to the left, so this can actually form three different rays. EF, FG and EG. This may only count as one ray, but it is technically three.

So in total all the rays are EA, FB, GC, ED, GH, EF, FG, and EG, so 8 total
