Answer 1

`{}` XY
`\overline {XY}`

Represent a distance
`{}` √

Represent a segment
`{}` √

Represent a numerical value
`{}` √

Represent a geometric figure √

Can be found by applying the ruler postulate
`{}` √

Can be be duplicated with a compass and a straight edge √

Explanation:

The difference between XY and
`\overline {XY}` are that the points XY represents the distance between two points having a numerical value whose value can be found by using a ruler to find difference in the numbers on the ruler that coincides with the points, while
