Classify the following as true or false. Explain why.
a) A ray has two endpoints.
false; by definition the ray starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.
-----------------------
b) A line segment contains an infinite number of points
true; because between any two points, a and b, there is another point, (a+b)/2.
