A finite part of a line?
Technically, in geometry, there is no such thing. By definition, a line is infinite. A "line segment" is a finite portion of a line. In everyday speech, people might sometimes refer to a line segment as a finite line. But if you said this on a math test, you would fail the test.
How does distance differ displacement?
Distance is the total length travelled where as displacement is the length between where you started and where you are now. example.. If you travel in a circular path, around the whole circle and wind up back where you started. Your displacement will be zero but your distance travelled will be the circumference of the circle.
How many miles is a line of latitude?
-- Since every point on a line of latitude has the same latitude, the line has no thickness. -- Its length depends on its latitude. -- The line at zero latitude, known as the 'equator', is a great circle and so its length is the circumference of the Earth ... about 24,900 miles. -- Every other line of latitude is a small circle. Its length is 24,900 miles times the cosine of the latitude which it marks. -- The distance between any latitude and the one that's 1° north or south of it is about 111.1 kilometers (69 miles).
A line segment with one endpoint at the center of a circle?
The answer depends on where the other end of the line segment is. If it is on the circumference the segment is a radius. Otherwise, it is indeterminate.
What is the distance of the prime meridian?
-- The longitude of the Prime Meridian is zero. -- Every point on the Prime Meridian has a different latitude. -- For every possible latitude, there is a point on the Prime Meridian.
Which of these is equal to the distance from a point to a line?
the length of a perpendicular segment from the point to the line
What is the shortest distance between a point and a line?
The length of a line segment that starts at the point and is perpendicular to the original line.
What is the distance between the endpoints of a line segment?
This is the length of the segment.
The length of the segment from a point C to the line AB gives the distance from the point C to the line AB?
perpendicular by Deviin Mayweather of Boyd Anderson
To find the distance from a point C to the line AB you must find the length of the segment from C to AB?
perpendicular
What is the length of a line segment?
The length of a line segment is called the distance. To find the distance, you need to know the coordinate of its endpoints given as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the distance formula.
How is the midpoint of a segment different from the length of a segment?
Mostly because, assuming it just one segment, a midpoint by definition (mid- means middle) is the point at the exact middle of a line segment; whereas the length of the segment is the entire length of the segment. Pretty much, a midpoint is a point in the middle of the line, the length is the measurement of the same line.
Is a taut piece of thread a point line line segment ray or plane?
None of them since a thread has a finite length and finite width. A point has neither length nor width whereas a line, line segment and ray do not have any width. A plane has infinite length and width. The nearest approximation is a line segment.
A line segment that connects the center of a circle to a point on the circle?
what about such a line segment? the length of such a segment is called the radius. the area of the circle is pi*the length of this segment squared the circumference is 2*pi*the length of this segment
What is a point equal distance from the end points of a line?
The point that is equal distance from the endpoints of a line segment is the midpoint.
What is a point that divides a line segment into two segments of equal length?
A point that divides a segment into two segments of equal length is a midpoint.
What are you caculating using the distance formula?
You are calculating the length of a line segment
