Chapter 1: Q2 (page 14)

Determine how many endpoints do a segment, a ray, and a line have.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A segment has two endpoints, a ray has one endpoint and a line have no endpoints.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Find the endpoint of a segment.

A segment is a part of the line that connects two points. The two points are considered to be the endpoints of the segment. The distance between these two points can be measured. As both ends of the segment are defined, thus the endpoints of a segment are 2.

Step 2. Find the endpoint of a ray.

A ray is a part of the line that goes on infinitely in one direction. The length of a ray cannot be measured. As one end of a ray is not defined, thus the endpoints of a ray are 1.

03

Step 3. Find the endpoint of a line.

A line is a one-dimensional figure that goes infinitely in both directions. A line has no fixed points. As the ends of a line are not defined, thus a line has no endpoints.
