What is a key characteristic of a line segment?

• It extends infinitely in one direction.

• It has no width and extends infinitely in both directions.

• It has two distinct endpoints and a finite length.

• It is a zero-dimensional object.

How is the length of a line segment AB typically represented in geometry?

• AB with a double-headed arrow above it.

• AB with a single arrow above it.

• AB with a bar above it.

• Simply as AB.

What is a ray in geometry?

• A geometric figure that extends infinitely in two directions.

• A geometric figure with two endpoints and a finite length.

• A geometric figure that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.

• A geometric figure with no dimensions.

What does it mean for points X, Y, and Z to be collinear, and for Z to be the midpoint of line segment XY?

• The points X, Y, and Z lie on different lines, and Z is equidistant from X and Y.

• The points X, Y, and Z lie on the same line, and the distance XZ is equal to the distance ZY.

• The points X, Y, and Z form a triangle, and Z is the center of the triangle.

• The points X, Y, and Z are endpoints of a ray, and Z is the vertex.
