Explanation:

Step1: Recall segment definition

A segment \(\overline{AB}\) consists of all points between \(A\) and \(B\), including \(A\) and \(B\).

Step2: Analyze \(\overline{BA}\)

\(\overline{BA}\) also consists of all points between \(B\) and \(A\), including \(B\) and \(A\). Since the set of points between \(A\) and \(B\) is the same as between \(B\) and \(A\), the segments are identical.
