Question

Select the term that is suggested by the figure. Then state whether the term is an undefined term or a defined term.

The pencil suggests the term...
Line segment
Point
Ray
^(those are the options)
Which is ....
An undefined
A defined

Answer 1

The unsharpened pencil suggests the term line segment, which is a defined term.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A pencil in the picture shows a segment with a definite length.

We may get confused with the difference in a line and segment.

A line is defined by a line of points that extends infinitely.

That means both the ends of a line are not defined.

But a segment is a part of line which has a definite length between two defined ends.

Therefore, unsharpened pencil defines the term line segment which is a defined term.
