Question

Trisha drew a pair of line segments starting from a vertex. Which of these statements best compares the pair of line segments with the vertex?
A. The line segments and the vertex have length as a dimension of measurement and there are three collinear points on each.
B. Line segments and the vertex have two endpoints each and the distance between the end points is their dimension.
C. Line segments have two endpoints and a vertex is a common endpoint where two line segments meet.
D. The line segments and the vertex have their lines extending in one direction only and the lengths of both are

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C) Line segments have two endpoints and a vertex is a common endpoint where two line segments meet.

Explanation:

A line segment is defined as a portion of a line that has two endpoints.

A vertex is defined as the common endpoint of two or more rays or line segments.

This makes C the correct option.

Answer 2

Trisha drew a pair of line segments starting from a vertex. The statement that best compares the pair of line segments with the vertex is statement three or choice C. It states that the line segments have two end points and a vertex is a common end point where two line segments meet.
