Question

Is the following statement a good definition? Why?

Answer 1

I'm not to sure is I'm right but I think the answer is A  No, it is not. The statement is not precise. A ray or a point could be part of a line. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the definition, 'A segment is a part of a line'.

It is required to know whether this is a good definition or not.

Since, we know that,

'A segment is the part of line bounded by two distinct end points'.

Thus, the given definition is not precise as,

The segment many not be bounded, which then gives a ray.

The bounds may not be distinct points, which then gives a point.

Hence, the correct option is,

A. No, it is not. The statement is not precise. A ray or a point could be part of a line.
