This is known as a line segment. A line segment is the part of a line between two equal points.
In most general terms, a side is a line segment that is part of the figure in question. It is connected at either end to another line segment, which, in turn, may or may not be connected to still other line segments. A line segment joined at either end by two others which, in turn, were joined together would make a triangle. And more figures can be made by continuing to add line segments.
It is a "normal line" or part of a "complete" or infinite line. You need segments or you would never be able to stop drawing one. You would be a lineman forever!
They are alike because a ray is part of a line, a segment is part of a line, and a line is basically a line. They are different because a segment has two end points; a ray has one, and a line is a group of points on a straight path that extends to infinity like a ray extends to infinity in one direction
Yes, a segment is part of a line. It is the part of the line that sits in between two points.
