Which of the following is the correct way to name the entire figure shown?
1. Line MN
2. Ray MN
3. Line Segment MN
4. Ray Segment MN
Answer: Line Segment MN
To identify the correct way to name the entire figure shown, we need to consider the definitions of each option.
1. Line MN: A line extends indefinitely in both directions and does not have endpoints. So, naming the entire figure "Line MN" would not be appropriate.
2. Ray MN: A ray starts at a point and extends indefinitely in one direction. So, naming the entire figure "Ray MN" would only describe a portion of the figure, not the entire figure.
3. Line Segment MN: A line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints. Naming the entire figure "Line Segment MN" would accurately describe the entire figure since it has distinct endpoints M and N.
Therefore, the correct way to name the entire figure shown is "Line Segment MN".
