Exploring Lines, Rays, and Angles

What is a point in geometry?

• A position in space

• A part of a ray

• A line with no endpoints

• A segment of a line

Which of the following best describes a line?

• A curved path that extends infinitely

• A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions

• A path with two distinct endpoints

• A path that extends infinitely in one direction

What distinguishes a line segment from a line?

• It extends in one direction only

• It has two endpoints

• It is always curved

• It cannot be drawn straight

What is a ray in geometry?

• A part of a line segment that extends infinitely

• A line segment with one endpoint

• A line that extends infinitely in both directions

• A part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction

How is a ray typically represented?

• With an arrow at the endpoint only

• With an arrow at the end that extends infinitely

• With an arrow at the starting point only

• With two arrows at each end

What is an angle in geometry?

• A figure formed by two rays or line segments that share a common endpoint

• A curved line that connects two points

• A figure formed by two intersecting lines

• A point that connects two lines

Which type of angle is less than 90 degrees?

• Straight angle

• Right angle

• Acute angle

• Obtuse angle

Identify the type of angle that is exactly 90 degrees.

• Right angle

• Acute angle

• Obtuse angle

• Straight angle

What is the correct way to label a line segment from point A to point B?

• Line segment AB

• Ray AB

• Line AB

• Point AB

Which statement is true about rays?

• They are always horizontal

• They start at a point and extend infinitely in one direction

• They cannot be extended

• They have two endpoints
