Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.
---
First, let’s look at the shapes and decide if each is a
line,
ray, or
line segment.
Remember:
- A
line goes on forever in both directions → it has arrows on BOTH ends.
- A
ray starts at one point and goes on forever in ONE direction → it has one endpoint (dot) and one arrow.
- A
line segment has two endpoints → it has dots on BOTH ends, no arrows.
Now, let’s label each shape from left to right, top row first:
Top Row:
1. First shape: dot on top, arrow pointing down-left → that’s a
ray
2. Second shape: arrows on both ends → that’s a
line
3. Third shape: dots on both ends → that’s a
line segment
4. Fourth shape: dot on bottom, arrow pointing up → that’s a
ray
Bottom Row:
5. First shape: dots on both ends → that’s a
line segment
6. Second shape: arrows on both ends → that’s a
line
7. Third shape: dot on left, arrow pointing right → that’s a
ray
8. Fourth shape: dot on left, arrow pointing down-right → that’s a
ray
Wait — let me double-check the last one. It has a dot and an arrow → yes, still a ray. Even if it’s diagonal, as long as it has one endpoint and one arrow, it’s a ray.
So summarizing the 8 figures:
Top row (left to right):
→ Ray, Line, Line Segment, Ray
Bottom row (left to right):
→ Line Segment, Line, Ray, Ray

Now, the matching part:
Match the vocabulary word with its definition.
1.
line → should match with “a straight path that goes on forever in two directions” → that’s option
b
2.
line segment → “part of a line that has two endpoints” → that’s option
c
3.
ray → “a straight path that goes on forever in one direction” → that’s option
a
Let me verify:
- Line = infinite both ways → b ✔️
- Line segment = finite, two ends → c ✔️
- Ray = starts somewhere, goes forever one way → a ✔️
Perfect.

Final Answer:
For the figures (top row left to right, then bottom row left to right):
Ray, Line, Line Segment, Ray,
Line Segment, Line, Ray, Ray
For the matching:
1. line → b
2. line segment → c
3. ray → a
