A line is infinite, it has no beginning or end. it's length is infinite.
It can only be named by the equation or a variation of y=mx+c where m is the gradient and c is the y intercept

A line segment has a specific start and end, and a length.
It can be expressed giving two sets of coordinates, (the start and finish)

What is the measure of an exterior angle in a regular polygon with 15 sides?

vlabodo [156]

First, find the measure of an interior angle:
the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)*180, n is the number of sides
for a 15-sided polygon, the sum is 13*180
each interior angle is then 13*180/15=156
the measure of each exterior angle=180-156=24
