16 Chapter 1 Basics of Geometry<br />
The line AB ^&( passes through A <strong>and</strong> B.<br />
The segment AB &* consists of the endpoints A <strong>and</strong> B, <strong>and</strong> all points<br />
on AB ^&( that are between A <strong>and</strong> B.<br />
The ray AB&( consists of the endpoint A <strong>and</strong> all points on AB ^&( that lie<br />
on the same side of A as B.<br />
SUMMARY<br />

Note that AB ^&( is the same as BA ^&(. Also, AB&* is the same as BA&*.<br />
However, AB&( is not the same as BA &(. The two rays have different<br />
endpoints <strong>and</strong> extend in different directions.<br />
