 The line segment and the ray are some

of the subsets of a line. A segment has

two endpoints while a ray has only one
endpoint and is extended endlessly in
one direction.
 A B C D E F G H I

The points A, B, C, D, E and I are not on the

line segment FH.
 It is a part of a line that has two endpoints
A B C D

AD is a line segment. The points A, B, C and D

are on line segment. In notation, we write
AD or simply AD. We can also name it as
DA or DA.
 These are the segments having the same
lengths.

The length of AB = 2
The length of DE = 2
The length of CE = 3
The length of DF = 3

Segments AB and DE are congruent.

CE and DF are also congruent segments.
The length of AD= 3
The length of EG = 2

These segments are not congruent

to each other because their lengths
are not the same.
