How do you find the length of the segment if you know an endpoint and the midpoint?
-- Find the distance between the endpoint and the midpoint.-- Double that distance to get the length of the complete segment.-- When you're finished, sit quietly for a moment and ponder the meaning of "midpoint".
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.
How do you find the number of segment in a given number of point?
A point has no size: no length, breadth, width, height - nothing except location. It cannot contain anything so there cannot be a segment in a point.
If a segment connecting two points is horizontal you can find the distance between the points by?
When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.
What is formula to find length of a segment?
It depends on what information you do have.
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.

-- Find the distance between the endpoint and the midpoint.-- Double that distance to get the length of the complete segment.-- When you're finished, sit quietly for a moment and ponder the meaning of "midpoint".
What do you use to find the length of a segment on a coordinate plane?
You use the distance formula.

If a segment is you can find the distance by subtracting the y coordinates and taking the absolute value?
Vertical.
How you find the length of a line segment connecting two dots?
Compare the distance to a known length. Measure. If you know the coordinates of the two dots in an orthogonal coordinate system, use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance. Say point 1 has coordinate (Ax,By) and point 2 has coordinate (Cx,Dy) then the distance between 1 and 2 is the square root of ((C-A)2 + (D-B)2))
How do you find the number of segment in a given number of point?
A point has no size: no length, breadth, width, height - nothing except location. It cannot contain anything so there cannot be a segment in a point.
When you want to find the length of a segment you use the what formula?
The distance formula providing you know the coordinates of its end points
What are the coordinates of point R that lies along the directed segment from J ( 10 - 3 ) to K ( 1 - 3 ) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 2 to 7?
Using the distance formula the length of the line segment from (10, -3) to (1, -3) is 9 units which means that the line segment is partitioned by 2 units and 7 units. To find the coordinates of point R plot the above information on the Cartesian plane.
Draw a line segment of length 6.5cm find a point p on it which divides it in ratio 3 2?
3.9 and 2.6
How do you find the distance from the origin to a point on the graph?
-- square the point's x-coordinate -- square the point's y-coordinate -- add the two squares together -- take the square-root of the sum -- the answer is the distance of the point from the origin. This works because if you draw a line down from the point to the x-axis (length is y-coordinate), then along the x-axis to the origin (length is x-coordinate), and back to the point (length is distance), you just made a right triangle. Then you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the long side (the distance) since you know the length of the two shorter sides.
What is the answer to find the length of the line segment joining -28 and -25?
-3
