Question 3
The number of line segments in the given figure is
a) 5
b) 15
c) 10
d) 20
A part of a line that has two endpoints is called a line segment. The above line segment can be is written as ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB.
In the givne figure, the line segments are ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AB, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BC, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯CD, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯DE, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AC, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AD, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BD, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BE, ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯CE and ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AE.
