# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall ray naming rules
A ray is named by its endpoint first, then another point on the ray. The endpoint is where the ray starts, and it extends infinitely in one direction.
## Step2: Identify the ray's parts
In the given figure, the endpoint is $ C $, and the ray passes through $ G $ and $ P $. So one way to name it is using the endpoint $ C $ and another point $ P $, which is $ \overrightarrow{CP} $. Another way is using the endpoint $ C $ and the intermediate point $ G $, so $ \overrightarrow{CG} $. Wait, no, actually, a ray is named with the endpoint first, then any other point on the ray (since it extends through that point). Wait, the ray starts at $ C $ and goes through $ G $ and $ P $, so the ray can be named as $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (since it starts at $ C $ and goes towards $ P $) or $ \overrightarrow{CG} $? Wait, no, actually, the ray is defined by its endpoint and the direction. So the ray starts at $ C $, and passes through $ G $ and $ P $, so the two names can be $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (using endpoint $ C $ and point $ P $) and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (using endpoint $ C $ and point $ G $)? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the ray is drawn with an arrow at $ C $? Wait, no, the arrow is at the end opposite to $ P $. Wait, looking at the figure: the ray has an endpoint? Wait, no, a ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. Wait, the figure shows a ray with endpoint? Wait, no, the arrow is at $ C $, so the ray starts at $ P $ and goes through $ G $ to $ C $? Wait, no, the arrow direction: the arrow is at $ C $, so the ray is going from $ P $ through $ G $ to $ C $, but that would mean the endpoint is $ P $? Wait, no, I think I misread the arrow. Let me re-examine: the figure has a point $ P $, then $ G $, then $ C $, with an arrow at $ C $. So the ray starts at $ P $ and extends through $ G $ to $ C $ (but since it's a ray, it extends infinitely beyond $ C $). Wait, no, the arrow indicates the direction of extension. So the ray has endpoint $ P $, and passes through $ G $ and $ C $, extending infinitely beyond $ C $. Wait, that makes more sense. So the ray is $ \overrightarrow{PC} $ (endpoint $ P $, passing through $ C $) or $ \overrightarrow{PG} $ (endpoint $ P $, passing through $ G $)? Wait, no, the standard notation is: a ray is named by its endpoint first, then another point on the ray (in the direction of the arrow). So if the arrow is at $ C $, that means the ray starts at $ P $, goes through $ G $, and extends infinitely in the direction of $ C $. So the endpoint is $ P $, and the ray passes through $ G $ and $ C $. Therefore, two names for the ray are $ \overrightarrow{PC} $ (using endpoint $ P $ and point $ C $) and $ \overrightarrow{PG} $ (using endpoint $ P $ and point $ G $)? Wait, no, maybe I had the endpoint wrong. Let's recall: a ray is a part of a line that starts at a point (endpoint) and extends infinitely in one direction. The arrow shows the direction of extension. So in the figure, the points are $ P $ (top), $ G $ (middle), $ C $ (bottom with arrow). So the ray starts at $ P $, goes through $ G $, and extends infinitely beyond $ C $ (since the arrow is at $ C $). So the endpoint is $ P $, and the ray can be named as $ \overrightarrow{PC} $ (endpoint $ P $, passing through $ C $) or $ \overrightarrow{PG} $ (endpoint $ P $, passing through $ G $)? Wait, no, actually, the ray is defined by its endpoint and any other point on the ray (in the direction of the arrow). So the two valid names are $ \overrightarrow{PC} $ (using endpoint $ P $ and point $ C $) and $ \overrightarrow{PG} $ (using endpoint $ P $ and point $ G $)? Wait, no, maybe the endpoint is $ C $? Wait, no, the arrow is at $ C $, which would mean that the ray starts at $ C $ and extends towards $ P $? Wait, that can't be, because the arrow is at $ C $, so the direction is from $ C $ towards $ P $? Wait, no, the arrow is on the line segment, indicating the direction of the ray. So if the arrow is at $ C $, the ray starts at $ C $ and goes through $ G $ to $ P $, extending infinitely beyond $ P $. Oh! That's my mistake. So the endpoint is $ C $, and the ray passes through $ G $ and $ P $, extending infinitely beyond $ P $. So the ray is $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (endpoint $ C $, passing through $ P $) or $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (endpoint $ C $, passing through $ G $)? Wait, no, the ray starts at $ C $, goes through $ G $, and then $ P $, so the direction is from $ C $ to $ P $, with $ C $ as the endpoint. So the two names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (using endpoint $ C $ and point $ P $) and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (using endpoint $ C $ and point $ G $)? Wait, no, actually, the ray is named by the endpoint first, then any other point on the ray (in the direction of the arrow). So since the arrow is at $ C $, the ray starts at $ C $ and extends through $ G $ and $ P $, so the two names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (endpoint $ C $, point $ P $) and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (endpoint $ C $, point $ G $)? Wait, but $ G $ is between $ C $ and $ P $, so the ray $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ would be a shorter segment, but actually, a ray is infinite, so $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ is the same as $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ because it starts at $ C $ and goes through $ G $ to $ P $ and beyond. Wait, no, the correct way is: a ray is named with its endpoint, then another point on the ray (in the direction of the arrow). So if the ray starts at $ C $ and goes through $ G $ and $ P $, then the two names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (using $ C $ as endpoint and $ P $ as the other point) and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (using $ C $ as endpoint and $ G $ as the other point). But actually, the standard is to use the endpoint and a point in the direction of the arrow, so $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ is correct, and also $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ is correct because $ G $ is on the ray from $ C $ through $ P $. Wait, but maybe the figure is a ray with endpoint $ P $? No, the arrow is at $ C $, so the endpoint is $ C $, and it extends towards $ P $. So the two names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $? Wait, no, let's check the definition again. A ray is a line with a single endpoint (or point of origin) that extends infinitely in one direction. The ray is named by its endpoint and any other point on the ray (e.g., $ \overrightarrow{AB} $ means the ray starts at $ A $ and goes through $ B $ to infinity). So in the given figure, the endpoint is $ C $ (since the arrow is at $ C $, indicating the start, and it goes through $ G $ and $ P $ to infinity). So the ray can be named as $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (endpoint $ C $, point $ P $) and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (endpoint $ C $, point $ G $). Wait, but $ G $ is between $ C $ and $ P $, so $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ is a subset of $ \overrightarrow{CP} $, but as a ray, it's the same because it starts at $ C $ and extends through $ G $ (and then $ P $) to infinity. So the two names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $? Wait, no, maybe I had the endpoint wrong. Let's look at the figure again: the points are $ P $ (top), $ G $ (middle), $ C $ (bottom with arrow). So the ray is drawn from $ C $ (with arrow) through $ G $ to $ P $. So the endpoint is $ C $, and it extends towards $ P $. Therefore, the two names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (using $ C $ and $ P $) and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (using $ C $ and $ G $). But actually, the correct names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $? Wait, no, the ray is $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ (starting at $ C $, going through $ P $) and also $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ (starting at $ C $, going through $ G $). But since $ G $ is on the ray $ \overrightarrow{CP} $, both are valid. Alternatively, maybe the endpoint is $ P $, and the arrow is at $ C $, meaning it starts at $ P $ and goes through $ G $ to $ C $, extending infinitely beyond $ C $. In that case, the ray is $ \overrightarrow{PC} $ (starting at $ P $, going through $ C $) and $ \overrightarrow{PG} $ (starting at $ P $, going through $ G $). Wait, this is confusing. Let's use the standard notation: the ray is named by the endpoint first, then a point in the direction of the arrow. So if the arrow is at $ C $, the direction is from $ C $ to $ P $, so endpoint is $ C $, so $ \overrightarrow{CP} $. If we take another point on the ray, like $ G $, then $ \overrightarrow{CG} $ is also a valid name because $ G $ is on $ \overrightarrow{CP} $. So the two names are $ \overrightarrow{CP} $ and $ \overrightarrow{CG} $.
# Answer:
$\overrightarrow{CP}$ and $\overrightarrow{CG}$ (or $\overrightarrow{PC}$ and $\overrightarrow{PG}$ if the endpoint is $P$; but based on the arrow at $C$, the correct endpoint is $C$, so $\overrightarrow{CP}$ and $\overrightarrow{CG}$)
