GEOMETRY BASICS

This figure consists of two endpoints and all of the points in between.

• line

• opposite rays

• line segment

• ray

Answer explanation

A line segment is defined as having two endpoints and all the points in between. The question describes this exactly, making 'line segment' the correct choice, while 'line', 'opposite rays', and 'ray' do not fit this definition.

This figure is used to represent a specific location in space.

• line segment

• plane

• point

• ray

Answer explanation

A point is defined as a specific location in space with no dimensions, making it the correct choice. In contrast, a line segment, plane, and ray represent more complex geometric concepts.

Points that do not lie on the same line are said to be (a)  

• collinear
• coplanar
• non-collinear
• non-coplanar

Answer explanation

Points that do not lie on the same line are referred to as non-collinear. The term collinear describes points that are on the same line, while coplanar refers to points on the same plane. Thus, the correct answer is non-collinear.

Which of the following is the correct way to name this plane?

• PGW

• PMW

• WMP

With how many points do you name a line?

• two

• three

• one

Answer explanation

A line is defined by two points. This is a fundamental concept in geometry, where any two distinct points determine a unique line. Therefore, the correct answer is 'two'.
