How would you write the name of a segment differently than the name of a line? What symbols would you use?
Am I the only one who still doesn't understand what any of the stuff above means?
I've been here for 3yrs to know to switch the wordings up. STAY SMART. I wont snitch on yall
A line is a straight set of points that extend in opposite directions without ending. A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends in one direction without ending. A line segment is a part of a line between two endpoints. Both the line and segment can be designated the same way, line AB or segment AB.
Don't quote me on any of this but from what I can understand in simple terms:
a line is essentially a never-ending one, with arrows on either end instead of points, meaning it's infinite/keeps going.
A line SEGMENT is a line with POINTS, so it'll start with a point C (for example) and continue on until it reaches another point (maybe one called B).
TIP FOR ALL THOSE USING THIS REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE WORDING FOR UR WRITTEN RESPONSE cus i stupidly forgot that and just copied and pasted >:'(
What symbols would you use tho?
There are only two in my opinion
The answer is, of course, overthrow capitalism.
Thank you so much it makes a lot more sense now!
THANKS
Okay for example let's use UV as our points.
A segment would have a line above UV however though, a line has the same bar but there are arrows at the ends of both sides which as a written rule in geometry means that it can just continue infinitely and never end!
@lol pls you dumb
dumb
based athiest chad
hey thanks @ !
A line is often name by two points that lie on it. The symbol for the name of the line is the two points in capital letters, with a small, double barbed horizontal line segment over them. Two points are used when naming a segment, the arrows are not used on the line segment above the letters.
bro
ow would you write the name of a segment differently than the name of a line? What symbols would you use?
both use two letters, such as BC
a segment just has a bar over the letters
a line has the bar, but there's an arrow on each end, indicating it continues on
Surely this is shown in your geometry text!!
