Question

name the figure below in two different ways.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ray naming rules

A ray is named by its endpoint first, then another point on the ray. The symbol for a ray is $\overrightarrow{}$.

Step2: Name the ray with endpoint H

Using endpoint H and point V, the ray is $\overrightarrow{HV}$.

Step3: Name the ray considering the direction

Since the ray starts at H and goes through V, another way (though less common but still valid in context) is to recognize the ray as ray HV (using the endpoint - direction point notation without the vector symbol, or with the symbol as above). Also, sometimes rays are named by their endpoint and a direction, so ray H (with direction towards V) or more formally $\overrightarrow{HV}$ and ray HV (using the two - point notation where the first is the endpoint).

Answer:

$\overrightarrow{HV}$ and Ray HV (or $\overrightarrow{HV}$ and Ray from H through V)
