What is the difference between a line segment and a ray and the difference between a line and a line segment?

A line may be described as a set of points going straight on forever in two opposite directions, and they are straight and never end. A line segment is the set of any two points on a line that are the endpoints. Then a ray is a set of collinear points going in 1 direction with one endpoint. So a line is <-----> and segment is .----. (the periods are endpoints) and .----> To be frank, the differnce between a line segment and a ray is a line segment has two endpoints and stays within those endpoints and a ray has one endpoint and continues continuously in the direction opposite of the endpoint. Then the difference between a line and line segment is that a line is never-ending and and goes in two directions in a straight line, and a line segment has two endpoints and stays within them

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1)

d = $\sqrt{(3+3)^2+(1-9)^2}$

= $\sqrt{6^2+(-8)^2}$

= $\sqrt{36+64}$

$\sqrt{100}$ = 10 → C

A solid right pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with an area of 7.4 units2. The pyramid has a height of 6 units.

Answer: Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula:

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$

Where "B" is the area of its base and "h" is the height.

According to the data given in the exercise, you know that:

$B=7.4 units^2\\\\h=6\ units$

Therefore, knowing this values, you can substitute them into the formula shown before and then evaluate, in order to calculate the volume of thi right pyramid whose base is a regular hexagon.

Then, you get:

$V=\frac{1}{3}(7.4 units^2)(6\ units)\\\\V=14.8\ units^3$
