From my eyes, i see 3 line segments because the points connected makes a line segment, can someone explain this to me? I'm surprised im the only one who thinks this way :S

Answer 1

You are not alone in your confusion. I taught geometry for many years and the distinction between the 3 was always tricky, because they are all three connected!
