Why can a line segment only have one midpoint?
There is only one point on the line segment, which is equidistant from the endpoints.
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.
Why can't a line segment have two midpoints?
because it can only have one middle and and a midpoint is the middle of a line segment and mid point means middle midpoint (middle point).
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.
How is a line line segment and a ray different?
line segments have two definite points, A and B, a ray has has only one definite point and the over indefinite point is a continuous line
Mid point of a segment and angle bisector?
Definition of angle bisector:An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint. The angle bisector is a ray or line segment that bisects the angle, creating two congruent angles. To construct an angle bisector you need a compass and straightedge.Definition of midpoint:Midpoint of a line segment is the point that is halfway between the endpoints of the line segment. A line segment has only one midpoint. If AB is a line segment and P is the midpoint, then AP = BP =
What is the end of a ray or line segment?
Both ends of a line segment are points A ray begins at a point and continues onward forever, so it technically only has one definite end
What do you call line segment in a circle?
A. If the line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as: 1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle. 2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle. B. If the line segment touches one point on the circle AND the center of the circle AND is present only within the circle it is called as: radius.
Is it the possible to measure the length of a line segment?
No,you cannot because a ray is something that starts from a point and goes till infinity.It is not possible to measure the length of ray.You can only measure if the ray is intersected at some point so because of the intersection the ray will be called a line segment or the intersected part and the source will be called a segment or the ray segment.You can only measure that.
Why does a line segment have one midpoint and can have many bisectors?
A bisector is a line (or line segment) which passes through the midpoint. You can have multiple lines intersect at this one point, and all of them will bisect the original line segment, since they pass through its midpoint. A perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint, and also is perpendicular to the original line segment, so there will be only one of those.
Can a line segment has an infinite number of midpoints?
No. A line segment can have only one midpoint.
