Question

Number of end points a line segment has is:
A. Three
B. None
C. Two
D. One

Answer 1

Hint: We know that in geometry we have many terms like line, line segment, ray, etc. A line segment is a collection of infinite points which have a definite length. The collection of points in a line segment has endpoints which mean it has a starting and an ending point. So, we can calculate the total end points by looking for all the starting and ending points.

Complete step-by-step solution:
According to the question, we have a line segment.
We know that a line segment represents a collection of points inside the end points. It has a definite length.
Now, we need to show the number of endpoints a line segment has.
For any line segment, the collection of infinite points has a starting point and an ending point. These starting and ending points are the end points which mean a line segment has one starting and one ending point that sums up to a total of two endpoints.
Therefore, there will be two defined end points for any line segment.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Note: In these types of questions, we need to observe whether a ray or line segment is given. As a ray is a line which has only one starting point and it extends up to infinity. But in the given question we are provided with the line segment. So, we will be analysing the end points for a definite length which always has a starting and ending point which are the two end points for a line segment.
