The light of a torch spreads all around you. It has no end points. This kind of
            light is known as ray       .


            A ray is, therefore, denoted by an end point and an arrow head.

              End point                                                                         Arrow head
                                                           Ray
            Straight Line


            «  It has no end point.

            «  It can be extended on both sides.

            « It has no fixed length.

            «  It is represented as AB.

            Line Segment

            Curves


            Closed curves and open curves are the types of curves.

            Closed Curves


            Look at the following curves.












             Closed curves end at their starting point or have no ends.
