Exploring Lines, Rays, and Angles in Geometry

What defines a line in geometry?

• A collection of points that extends infinitely in one direction

• A set of points that extends infinitely in two directions

• A segment connecting two points

• A path that curves at one point

How is a ray different from a line?

• A ray connects two specific points

• A ray does not extend infinitely

• A ray has a definite starting point but extends infinitely in one direction

• A ray extends infinitely in two directions

Which of the following is NOT a correct way to refer to a ray?

• Using the starting point followed by another point

• Using a lowercase letter

• Using two points with a double-ended arrow

• Using two points with a single-ended arrow

Why can't the length of a line be measured?

• All of the above

• Because it does not have defined endpoints

• Because it extends infinitely in two directions

• Because it changes with perspective

What does a single bar over two points represent?

• An angle

• A line segment

• A ray

• A line

Which symbol is used to represent a line in geometry?

• A single-ended arrow over two points

• No symbol is used

• A double-ended arrow over two points

• A single bar over two points

How can you name a line using points?

• Using any single point on the line

• Using any two points on the line with a double-ended arrow

• Using three points on the line

• Using a lowercase letter

What is the vertex of an angle?

• The point opposite the right angle

• The common endpoint of two rays

• The longest side of the angle

• The point where two lines meet

What is the measure of an angle primarily based on?

• The distance between the vertex and one point

• The length of the sides of the angle

• The amount of rotation needed to align one ray with another

• The number of degrees in a circle

How is the measure of an angle symbolized?

• With a circle around the vertex

• With a number followed by a degree symbol

• With a lowercase letter

• With a square bracket
