Exercise 37 Page 385

Which geometric objects are similar to the string of this yo-yo?

Segment.

Practice makes perfect

The string of this yo-yo is similar to a few different geometric objects: segment, ray, and line. Both the string and line segments are of finite length, whereas rays and lines continue indefinitely in at least one direction. Thus, the geometric term being best modeled by the string is a segment.
