Grade 4 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Answer each question. When words are given, use one of them. The same figures come in different shapes.

How to solve

A point is an exact location. A line goes on forever in both directions (arrows on both ends). A line segment has two endpoints. A ray has one endpoint and goes on forever in one direction. Two rays with the same endpoint make an angle. Parallel lines never meet; perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
