Properties and Measurement of a Line Segment

1. Definition of a Line Segment:

  • A line segment is a short, straight path with two endpoints, meaning it does not extend infinitely.

2. Naming a Line Segment:

  • The endpoints of a line segment are denoted by capital letters (e.g., A and B).
  • A line segment connecting points A and B is written as AB ¯.

3. Properties of a Line Segment:

  • A line segment has a fixed length and can be measured using a ruler.
  • It can be compared with other line segments to determine which is shorter or longer.

4. Drawing a Line Segment:

  • A ruler can be used to draw accurate line segments of specific lengths.
  • Every line segment has a definite length, unlike a line that extends infinitely.
