  • Can a point be on a line and at the same time be one endpoint of a line segment and the endpoint of a ray?

    The streets were planned by Pierre L’Enfant in the early 1800s. L’Enfant designed the streets to remind him of his native France with long boulevards and ceremonial sites. The major streets in Washington, D.C., were designed to be a diamond-shaped grid using numbers and letters for the street names. Throughout the city, diagonal streets were named after the states and various figures in American history. If you were to fly over the city in the 1800s, you would likely see shapes that look like pentagrams, carpenter squares, and compasses.

    For example, while sightseeing in Washington, if you leave the White House to travel southeast on Pennsylvania Avenue to the U.S. Capitol and then travel west on Madison Drive to visit the Washington Monument, you have traveled the path of an acute angle. In fact, most maps contain geometric features such as parallel streets, perpendicular streets, and intersecting streets, which together create obtuse and acute angles.
