It cannot go beyond that point!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-endpoint-in-math-definition\">Endpoint in Math: Definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The endpoint<strong> <\/strong>can be defined as the point on a graph or a figure where the figure ends.

So, the name of the polygon is ABCD because it is named after its endpoints or vertices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-practice-problems\">Practice Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Endpoint in Math<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">How many endpoints are there in a line segment?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">1<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">2<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">3<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">0<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: 2<br\/>A line segment has two endpoints on either side.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"0\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">2<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">What is the name of an angle with a common point E between the two lines?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">$\\angle \\text{E}$<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">$\\angle \\text{EFG}$<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">$\\angle \\text{CDE}$<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">$\\angle \\text{OE}$<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: $\\angle \\text{E}$<br\/>The angle is named by the common point, which is E.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"3\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">3<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">What is the name of a ray with endpoint F, and G as any given point on the ray?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">Ray GF<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">Ray G<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">Ray F<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">Ray FG<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: Ray FG<br\/>The ray is named starting with the endpoint, which is F.
