What is line segment with example


A ruler, a pencil, and a stick are examples of a line segment in real life. An example of a ray is the sun's rays. The starting point of the sun's rays is the sun but there is no endpoint.

What is line segment explain with example?

If you mark two points A and B on it and pick this segment separately, it becomes a line segment. This line segment has two endpoints A and B whose length is fixed. The length of this line segment is the distance between its endpoints A and B. So, a line segment is a piece or part of a line having two endpoints.

What is called line segment?

In geometry, a line segment is bounded by two distinct points on a line. Or we can say a line segment is part of the line that connects two points. A line has no endpoints and extends infinitely in both the direction but a line segment has two fixed or definite endpoints.

What are three examples of line segments?

Real-world examples of line segments are a pencil, a baseball bat, the cord to your cell phone charger, the edge of a table, etc. Think of a real-life quadrilateral, like a chessboard; it is made of four line segments.
