Geometry

What you’ll practice

Use endpoint and arrow conventions to name a geometric object.

A segment stops at both ends, a ray continues in one direction, and a line continues in both. Look at the endpoints and arrowheads before choosing a name.

How this skill works

Count the endpoints and inspect the arrows.

Arrowheads indicate continuation, not a measured endpoint. Two labeled points can lie on any of the three objects.

Worked example

A drawing starts at point A and has an arrow continuing through point B.
  1. A is one fixed endpoint.
  2. The arrow continues in one direction beyond B.
  3. An object with one endpoint and one continuing direction is a ray.

Answer: Ray

Teaching notes

  • Do not count a labeled point in the middle of a line as an endpoint.
Practice questions

  3. Classify the drawing as a line, ray, or segment.

    A drawing through points A and B with an endpoint at A and an arrow continuing past B.

  4. Classify the drawing as a line, ray, or segment.

    A drawing through points A and B with endpoints at A and B.

  5. Classify the drawing as a line, ray, or segment.

    A drawing through points A and B with arrowheads at both ends.

  6. Classify the drawing as a line, ray, or segment.
