Exploring Points, Lines, Rays, and Segments

What is the primary focus of geometry?

• Physical space and its rules

• Algebraic equations

• Number theory

• Probability and statistics

How is a point typically represented in geometry?

• A triangle

• A line

• A small filled-in circle

• A square

What term is used to describe three or more points that lie on the same line?

• Concurrent

• Collinear

• Perpendicular

• Parallel

How many points are needed to uniquely determine a line?

• Four

• Three

• Two

• One

Which of the following is NOT a way to name a line?

• Using three points on the line

• Using a single lowercase letter

• Using a capital letter

• Using two points on the line

Why can't we measure the length of a line?

• It is too small to measure

• It extends forever in two directions

• It has no ending point

• It has no starting point

What is a ray in geometry?

• A point with no dimensions

• A collection of points with a starting point that extends forever in one direction

• A line segment with a starting and ending point

• A line that extends in both directions

How is a line segment different from a line?

• It has a starting point and an ending point

• It extends forever in one direction

• It has no points

• It is curved

What is the correct way to name a line segment?

• Using three points on the line

• Using a single lowercase letter

• Using its two endpoints

• Using any two points on the line

When we write 'GH' without a bar over it, what are we referring to?

• A point on the line segment

• The midpoint of the line segment

• The line segment itself

• The length of the line segment
