Question
On the figure shown, DC is a _______.
- ray
- line
- point
- line segment
Hint:
Line segment refers to a part of a straight line that is bounded by 2 distinct end points. i.e. A line segment has 2 well defined end (definite) points.
The correct answer is: line segment
GIVEN-
Given shape = Rhombus ABCD.
TO FIND-
Nature of side DC on the given figure.
SOLUTION-
We know that a rhombus is a closed figure with 4 equal sides. And we know that for a closed figure, the ends of all its sides must have well defined (definite) end point.
Hence, all sides of the given figure are line segments.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'd' i.e. 'line segment' is the correct answer to the given question.
1. A Ray refers to that part of a line which has 1 end point and other end has no end i.e. it is infinitely increasing at one end.
2. A line is a geometric object (collection) with infinitely increasing ends i.e. it has no end on both sides.
3. Since the given figure is that of a closed object, none of its sides can have any infinite ends.
