- No, because if the points were FEA, it would be an angle, specifically an obtuse angle.
- I think that if you just had one point then you couldn't know what direction the ray was going. like the sun is the end point but it puts out rays...
- Geometry is the mathematical study of shapes, yes. All math deals with logical reasoning, though it is typically first taught in a formal way in Ge...
- It is a line, but the connected points that make up the line could also result in rays, since a ray only requires a start point and another to spec...
- They are the same ray if they start on the same point and go the same direction.
- He is using a slash symbol in a grammatical rather than a mathematical sense, to say that ray CF and ray CE are the same ray. He could have also wr...
- The arrow over the top is a symbol, and doesn't really indicate which way the ray is headed. This could get tricky if the ray was pointing straight...

Learn the basics of lines, line segments, and rays with definitions, examples, and practice problems. A ray is a line that starts at one point and goes on forever in one direction.
Learn the difference between lines, line segments, and rays in geometry. A line is infinite and has no thickness, a line segment has two endpoints, and a ray is infinite and has one endpoint.
