Help.

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I'd be interested to know! I was never taught this in school or college in the UK.

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

0_0 Wow.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I would guess a segment but that might be completely wrong...

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

@BloomLocke367

OpenStudy (welshfella):

maybe they teach it now

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

This is in 6th grade 0_0

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I have no ides what 6th grade is - what would the age be?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

lol - we would just call that a line - never heard of segment or ray in that level of maths.

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

@BloomLocke367

OpenStudy (welshfella):

i'm an old guy - a lot has changed since I did math, I dare say.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

hint: lines go on forever and has arrows at both ends rays go on forever in only ONE direction and has an arrow at one end and a segment is finite, with points at the ends

OpenStudy (welshfella):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

So A. Which is what I was actually thinking?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so the side of a triangle would be a segment?

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

@BloomLocke367 ^^

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No wouldn't CD be a segment - it is finite and has points at each end

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

yes @OpenStudyRocks5* there's arrows at the END.. the points are there so you know what to call the line.. yes, the side of a triangle would be a segment.
