What is a line segment?

A line segment is a piece or part of a line having two endpoints.

In order to draw a line segment of the required length, the simplest and the easiest method is to use a ruler.

The following steps are required to draw a line segment

• Take a scale and check for its start point, which is zero
• Place the scale on the sheet of paper and mark the starting point of the line segment with a dot on the paper. Mark it as x.
• Mark the endpoint of the line segment, that is till the required length, say 8 cm. Mark it as y.
