Question

Two rays P and Q having common initial point is said to form an________
 Choose the correct option from the following.
(A)Line
(B) Ray
(C) Line segment
(D) Angle

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question we have to fill the given blank with one of the correct options given below. In order to choose the right answer, we will, at first understand all the four options, then from that understanding we will derive the correct answer.

Complete step-by-step solution:
To find out the right option to fill the blank form the four given in question we will at first understand what is the meaning of all the given options. Let us begin, the first option that we have with us is,
 LINE: A line is a straight figure in one dimensional geometry that has no width but has length and can be extended infinitely in opposite directions.
The second given option is,
RAY: A Ray is a straight line that has a fixed starting point but no end point. A ray can be extended indefinitely but only in one direction, the other direction is fixed.
The third given option is,
LINE SEGMENT: A line segment is a part of a line that has fixed end as well as starting point. Both the ends of a line segments are fixed i.e., they cannot be extended or changed.
The fourth and the last option is,
ANGLE: Simply put, an angle can be defined as a figure formed by two rays having a common starting point.

Therefore, we can conclude that our answer for a given question is option (D) Angle.

Note: Angles are measured in degrees. There are a total of 360 degrees. And angles measuring less than 90 degrees are called acute angle. Angles measuring more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees are called obtuse angle. Any angle measuring 180 degrees is a straight line.
