The basic concepts of "line" and "point" can be used to define a ray. A ray is a portion of a line that starts at a point and extends in a particular direction. How can this definition of a ray be used to formulate a definition of an angle? O An angle is the intersection of two rays at a common point. O An angle is a special kind of ray that points in two particular directions. An angle is the figure formed by two rays that lie on the same line. An angle is a figure formed by two rays extending from a common point.
