A line is a one-dimensional set of points that extends to infinity in both directions (so it has no endpoint). A ray is a line that goes to infinity in only one direction and has one endpoint. A line segment is a line with two endpoints (so it does not go to infinity).

Can a line segment be part of a ray?
yes it can because a Ray is a line segment with an arrow at the end.
How is a line segment and ray the same?
They are not. A line segment is of finite length whereas a ray is infinitely long.
What geometric object occupy one dimension Line Plane Ray Triangle Segment Point?
Line, Ray and segment
Is an imaginary line from the earth a line ray or segment?
it is a line
What is a line segment used for?
A line segment is often used in math to do geometry and other types of math. This is a part of a line which can be calculated and measured correctly in an equation.
Ray in math?
ray is a line segment that extends forever in one direction
What is the difference between a line segment and a ray?
a ray continues on and on but a line segment stops
What are some math vocab words for fifth graders?
geometry, ray, line, line segment, square root, exponent, parenthesis
Is an imaginary line from the earth to the moon a line a ray or a segment Why?
It is a segment in case you do not know what a segment is it is a line with two end points
Can a ray be a line segment?
No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
Can a line segment be part of a ray?
yes it can because a Ray is a line segment with an arrow at the end.
How is a line segment and ray the same?
They are not. A line segment is of finite length whereas a ray is infinitely long.
How is a line a line segment and a ray are different?
A line segment has a finite length. A ray extends to infinity in one direction.
How is a line a line segment and a ray different?
A line segment has a finite length. A ray extends to infinity in one direction.
Does a line always contains a line segment and ray?
yes, because a line segment is part of a line and a ray goes on forever and it does always happen
Does a line segment have one more point than a ray?
A line segment has one more point than a ray
What geometric object occupy one dimension Line Plane Ray Triangle Segment Point?
Line, Ray and segment
