A segment has two end points. If a line has one end point, then it must be called ray.

Does a line segment have only one end point?
No, it has two. A ray has one end point.
Why a line segment cannot have two midpoint?
A line segment cannot have more than one midpoints because the midpoint is the halfway point between (or the middle of) the line segment, and the midpoint is exactly halfway between the beginning and exactly halfway between the end of the line segment, not a third of the way, etc.
What is a segment that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
That's a tangent to the circle.
What is the exactly meaning of segment construction postulate?
on any ray,there is exactly one point at a given distance from the endpoint of the ray
Can a line segment be measure by a ruler?
No as it has only one end point.
Does a line segment have only one end point?
No, it has two. A ray has one end point.
What is a segment that has one end point at the center of a circle and one end point onn the circle?
The radius

Does segment have exactly one ending point?
No it has two points otherwise it would just be a point you need two points to make a segment
What is a segment that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
That's a tangent to the circle.
Is segment construction postulate and segment addition postulate the same?
No, because Segment Construction Postulate may be use in any rays,there is exactly one point at a given distance from the end of the ray and in Segment Addition Postulate is is you may add only the Lines.

No as it has only one end point.
Why does every line have at least one bisection point?
Every line segment has exactly one bisection point - not "at least one".A line segment has a length that is a finite real number, x, of some measurement units. Every real number can be divided by 2 to give another real number, y. Therefore y = x/2 or x = 2y.A point that is y units from one end of the line will also be x - y = 2y - y = y units from the other end. That is the point is the bisection point.
What is the notation for a ray?
A line with an arrow on one end. Looks almost exactly like the symbol for a line segment, just with the arrow on one end.
How are a line segment and a ray different?
A line segment is a line between two points, while rays only has one end point and goes infinitely from that point in a direction.
How do you find a segment bisector?
Adjust a compass so the distance between the point and the pencil is more than half of the length of the segment. With the point at one end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the segment. Without adjusting the compass, with the point at the other end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the first arc at two places. The line that includes those two intersecting points is the perpendicular bisector.
