Why cant lines or rays be congruent?
They can, so the question should not arise.
What are coplanar lines rays or segments that do not intersect?
If rays, parallel ones. If segments there are many more options because you can have a segment that is not long enough to reach the point of intersection.
Why can't a line or ray have a perpendicular bisector?
Because both lines and rays are infinite in length and thus have no midpoint.
What are the subsets of lines?
the subsets of a line are the segments the rays and the points hope this will help pls mark good
What kind of triangle is created by the intersection of two perpendicular lines rays or line segments?
A "right" triangle, so called because it contains a "right angle".
Can rays ever be parallel lines?
Rays aren't really lines, since (Euclidean) lines extend infinitely in all directions, so they can't be parallel lines. But that's to fret a bit too much over the wording. Yes, rays, just like lines and line segments, can be parallel to other rays, lines, or line segments.
Are lines of longitude and latitude rays?
No , Lines of Latitude and Longitude are not rays because they do not go on infinitely (forever). They are only imaginary lines that exist on Earth.
What are the different lines in geometry called?
segments, lines, and rays.
What does the term vertex mean in math?
common point of two rays or lines, note: rays and lines are the same thing!!
Can segments and rays be skew lines if they lie in skew lines?
They can be, and are, "skew". If they are not lines, they cannot be "skew lines".
What are lines that share a common point?
Concurrent lines.
What is formed by two rays called?
Skew lines, parallel lines or an angle.
What do you call the lines that light travels in?
rays.
What is the straight lines out of a sun called?
rays.
How are lines and rays similar?
They are similar because both of them are perfectly straight. The only major difference is that lines never end and rays start from a specific point.
Lines that cross a vertex?
A vertex is a corner or a point where lines meet. Those lines are called rays or segments.
Why do you think gamma rays are drawn as wavy lines?
Gamma rays are often represented as wavy lines in diagrams to denote their high energy and frequency. The wavy lines symbolize the oscillation or vibration of electromagnetic waves associated with gamma rays. This visual representation helps to differentiate gamma rays from other types of radiation.
