Question

A segment has endpoints V and X. What are two names for the segment?

Answer 1

Given:

A segment has endpoints V and X.

To find:

The two names for the segment.

Solution:

A line segment is a small part of a line and it has two end points. The name of a segment is described by its end points.

For example: If A and B are two and points of a line segment, then the names for the segment are $\overline {AB}$ and $\overline {BA}$.

It is given that the segment has endpoints V and X.

Therefore, the two names for the segment are $\overline {VX}$ and $\overline {XV}$.
