Question

Which term of geometry would you associate with an edge of your book?
A. A point
B. A line segment
C. A plane
D. A Ray

Answer 1

Hint: In order to deal with this question we will consider all the given options and we will define each term further according to it we will try to relate it with the given statement.

Complete step-by-step answer:
A point - A point is the fundamental element of geometry. If we put the tip of a pencil on a paper and press it lightly, we see a very small mark on the paper. This mark is known as a point.
  

A line segment - A line segment is a portion or piece of a line that allows you to build polygons, determine slopes, and make calculations. Its length is finite and is determined by its two endpoints.

A plane - A plane is a flat surface that extends forever in two dimensions, but has no thickness. It's a bit difficult to visualize a plane because in real life, there is nothing that we can use as a true example of a geometric plane. However, we can use the surface of a wall, the floor, or even a piece of paper to represent a part of a geometric plane.

A ray - In geometry, a ray can be defined as a part of a part of a line that has a fixed starting point but no end point. It can extend infinitely in one direction.
   

From above all the definitions we have observed that the edge of a book is related to a line segment because the edge of the book also has finite length and two end points .
Hence the correct answer is option B.

Note: A line segment in geometry is a part of a line bounded by two distinct endpoints and includes each point on the line between endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, whereas an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment comprises exactly one endpoint.
