Line - Definition with Examples

What is a line? 

In geometry, a line can be defined as a straight one- dimensional figure that has no thickness and extends endlessly in both directions.

It is often described as the shortest distance between any two points.

 

 

Length of the table at which you dine,

Ray of the sun in the morning that shine,

The straight tubes and pipes in a pipeline,

We can find in them – straight geometry lines!

 

Instead of handing out math worksheets on lines, line segments and rays, show your children how to use a ruler to draw and measure straight lines.
