Question

Tell the following statement is true (T) or false (F):
Every segment is a ray

Answer 1

Hint - As we all know that a ray is a line segment which has one starting point and one point can extend up to infinity. Keeping this in mind we should proceed further to solve the given question.

Complete step by step answer:

Both ends points of a line segment are fixed but ray has only one end fixed. Thus a segment can never be a ray.

Hence, the statement, every segment is a ray is false.

Note - In the above question we should keep in mind that a line segment has two points which are fixed. Every ray is a line segment but every line segment can’t be a ray. Knowing this will solve your problem.
