Subsets of A Line

The document discusses different types of line segments and rays. It defines a line segment as having two distinct endpoints and a finite length, while a ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction from that point. Examples of each are given with labels. The document also discusses identifying congruent line segments of equal length within examples using symbols or marks.

Congruent
Segments
• Congruent segments are
simply line segments that are
equal in length. Congruent
means equal.
• We indicate that two line segments are
congruent by using the congruence symbol.
• In geometrical figures, two segments
are shown to be congruent by
marking them with the same
number of small perpendicular
marks.
Given that the spaces between
consecutive points are equal,
name pairs of congruent
segments
