Question

Which term best describes the geometric figure?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a geometric figure. We are asked to determine the name of the figure.

We can see that our given has two points that are defined by points A and B.

Let us check our given choices one by one.

A. Line

A line has no endpoints, it goes in both directions forever. Therefore, option A is not a correct choice.

B. Point

A point is defined by a location on coordinate plane. It has no size, therefore, option B is not correct as well.

C. Ray

A ray goes into one direction forever, therefore, option C is not correct.

D. Segment.

We know that a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points. A segment contains every point on the line between its endpoints.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.

Answer 2

Answer:

The geometric figure is a Segment

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are points since they are shown by dots and a point usually marks a location.

In Geometry a line is straight  and  extends in both directions infinitely.

A line segment or simply segment is the part of a line that connects two points. A segment is the shortest distance between the two points and has a length.
