Question

determine if the properties define a ray or a line segment
cannot be measured
ray
line segment
has a definite beginning and end
continues forever in one direction
can be measured
has two endpoints
has one endpoint

Explanation:

• Ray: A ray has one endpoint and continues forever in one direction. Since it extends infinitely in one direction, it cannot be measured.
• Line Segment: A line segment has a definite beginning and end (two endpoints). Because of its defined endpoints, it can be measured.

Answer:

• Ray: cannot be measured, continues forever in one direction, has one endpoint
• Line Segment: has a definite beginning and end, can be measured, has two endpoints
