Question

name the figure below in two different ways. symbol:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the figure type

The figure is a line segment with endpoints Z and N.

Step2: Name it by endpoints (order matters for ray, but for segment, order can be reversed)

• First way: Using the two endpoints, we can name it as segment ZN (or \(\overline{ZN}\)).
• Second way: Also, since the order of endpoints in a segment doesn't change the segment, we can name it as segment NZ (or \(\overline{NZ}\)).

Answer:

The figure is a line segment. It can be named as \(\boldsymbol{\overline{ZN}}\) (segment ZN) and \(\boldsymbol{\overline{NZ}}\) (segment NZ).
