Question 8 • (A. Costello)WCA 5324 Geometry 1st Nine Weeks 26-27

Which defines ray?

Answer
A
a piece of a line with two endpoints
B
all points equidistant from a given point
C
two line segments with a common endpoint
D
a piece of a line that starts at the endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction

Explanation

A ray starts at one endpoint and continues forever in one direction, so the correct choice is “a piece of a line that starts at the endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction.” A piece of a line with two endpoints is a line segment; all points equidistant from one point form a circle.
