Let's solve this step by step. The task is to
match each description on the left with the correct diagram on the right (labeled A through G). We need to understand what each geometric term means:
---
🔷 Definitions:
1.
Line: Goes infinitely in both directions. Represented with arrows on
both ends.
2.
Line Segment: Has two endpoints and does
not extend beyond them. No arrows.
3.
Ray: Has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. Arrow on
one end only, starting from the endpoint.
---
Now, let’s go through each item:
---
1. $\overleftrightarrow{CJ}$
This notation means a
line passing through points C and J. It has
arrows on both ends.
- Look for a diagram with arrows at
both ends and labeled C and J.
-
Option C shows a line with arrows on both ends, going through C and J →
✔
✔ Match: 1 → C
---
2. Line Segment CJ
A segment between C and J, no extensions. So it should have
two endpoints, no arrows.
-
Option E shows a straight line with endpoints C and J, no arrows →
✔
✔ Match: 2 → E
---
3. $\overrightarrow{CJ}$
This is a
ray starting at C and going through J. Arrow is on the
J end, so it extends from C to J and beyond.
-
Option A shows a ray starting at C, going toward J with an arrow at J →
✔
✔ Match: 3 → A
---
4. Line MC
A
line through M and C, extending infinitely in both directions. Should have
arrows on both ends.
-
Option F shows a line with M and C labeled, arrows on both ends →
✔
✔ Match: 4 → F
---
5. Ray MC
A ray starting at M and going through C. So it starts at M, goes through C, and continues beyond C. Arrow on the
C end.
-
Option B shows a ray starting at M, going to C, with arrow at C →
✔
✔ Match: 5 → B
---
6. $\overline{MC}$
This is a
line segment from M to C. Two endpoints, no arrows.
-
Option G shows a line with endpoints M and C, no arrows →
✔
✔ Match: 6 → G
---
Final Matching:
| Number | Description | Match |
|--------|-----------------------|-------|
| 1 | $\overleftrightarrow{CJ}$ | C |
| 2 | Line Segment CJ | E |
| 3 | $\overrightarrow{CJ}$ | A |
| 4 | Line MC | F |
| 5 | Ray MC | B |
| 6 | $\overline{MC}$ | G |
---
✔ Answer Summary:
1 → C
2 → E
3 → A
4 → F
5 → B
6 → G
You can now draw lines connecting each number on the left to the corresponding letter on the right.
