Solution

(i) line segment
Explanation: A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points.
Example: Sides of a triangle or any polygon

A and B are definite fixed points.
∴ AB is a line segment.

(ii) equal to
Explanation: While naming a line segment, the order may not be same but the length will be equal.
If AB = 4 cm, then, BA = 4 cm

(iii) shortest
Explanation: We measure the length between two points as the length of the line segment between the two points. The length between two points is the straight line, which is the shortest distance between the two end points.

(iv) equal length

(v) congruent
Explanation: Line segments are congruent if they have the same length.
If AB = 4 cm and CD = 4 cm
Then, we say segment AB is congruent to segment CD.
