Question

Greg drew a pair of parallel lines and a line segment next to each other on a chalkboard.

Which of these statements best compares the pair of parallel lines and the line segment?

Parallel lines and the line segment have no dimensions of measurement.

The parallel lines and the line segment always meet at a common endpoint which is called the vertex.

Parallel lines and a line segment cannot lie on the same plane at the same time because they do not overlap.

The parallel lines extend infinitely in both directions and the line segment has two endp

Answer 1

"Parallel lines and the line segment have no dimensions of measurement."

Can you measure how long a line segement is?

Answer 2

The parallel lines and the line segment always meet at a common endpoint which is called the vertex.

Do parallel lines ever meet?

Answer 3

"Parallel lines and a line segment cannot lie on the same plane at the same time because they do not overlap."

A plane is a flat surface like a white board. Can you draw two parallel lines on the white whiteboard?

Answer 4

"The parallel lines extend infinitely in both directions and the line segment has two endpoints"

Do parallel lines extend really really far if you could draw them that way? Does a line segment end due to two endpoints?

Answer 5

Parallel lines... these go on forever

Answer 6

Line segment
