Difference Between a Line segment , a Line  and a Ray :







        Line Segment                                                   Line                                                      Ray

        1. A line segment has two end points  1. A line has no end  points.                                                      1. A ray has only one end point.

        .                                                              2. A line does not have a fixed                           2. A ray does not have a fixed


        2. A line segment has a fixed length .                         length.                                                   length.

        3. It can be drawn on a paper.                                 3. A line can not be drawn on a                           3. A ray can not be drawn on a

        4. Line segment AB is represented by   paper . We can simply represent a  paper . We can simply represent a

           AB.                                                         line by a diagram.                                        line by a diagram.

                                                                       4. Line AB is represented                                 4. Ray AB is represented

                                                                       by  AB.                                                   by  AB.
