According to Euclid’s second postulate, how far can the line segment shown be extended in either direction?

A) forever
B) not at all
C) until it intersects the x-axis
D) until it intersects the y-axis

Respuesta :

Answer:

b. not at all

Step-by-step explanation:

• a line goes on forevee in every direction

• a ray continues forever in one direction only

• a segment has a set length and will not extend

The line segment is bounded by two end points and so cannot be extended in either direction at all, the correct option is B.

What is a line segment?

A line segment is a line that has two endpoints and a fixed measure.The measure of the line segment is the distance between the two end points.

A line is extended on both the direction infinitely, unlike a line segment it is not bounded by two endpoints.

A ray is a line which has one endpoint and it extends indefinitely in other direction.

According to the Euclid's second postulate,

Any straight line can be extended indefinitely in either direction.

The postulate talks about the line, which can be extended in either direction.

So, the line segment cannot be extended at all in either direction.
