What is the set of two fixed points and all points in between them?
It is a line segment.
What is the locus of points in a plane that are equidistant from two fixed points?
I believe that is the definition of a straight line.
Which of these is the best definition for ellipse?
It is the locus of points such that the sum of their distance from two distinct fixed points is a constant.
Which two fixed point define the shape of an ellipse?
The two fixed points are the foci but these do not define the shape of the ellipse. You also need to know the eccentricity.
What figure is the locus of all points that are equidistant from two fixed points?
A line in 2D and a plane in 3D A perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the 2 given points
What are reference points on the earths surface?
We have several reference points on the Earth's surface, for our convenience. The North and South Poles are a couple. The choice of Greenwich as the zero longitude, and of the International Date Line are another two. These points have no specific feature on the surface, they are decided on for the convenience of the users.
What is the set of two fixed points and all points in between them?
It is a line segment.
What are the two basic points of reference on the surface of the earth?
which are two basic point of reference on the surface of the earth
What are the equal divisions between the two fixed points?
midpointbisection
How many circles can be drawn at two fixed points?
infinite
What is the locus of points in a plane that are equidistant from two fixed points?
I believe that is the definition of a straight line.
Which of these is the best definition for ellipse?
It is the locus of points such that the sum of their distance from two distinct fixed points is a constant.
Who built a thermometer based not one but two fixed points?
The Celsius scale is based on two fixed points: The freezing point of water at 0 degrees, and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees.
What are two reference points on earth?
They are North Pole and South Pole
How many lines can be drawn through two fixed points?
In Euclidian or plane geometry, there can be only one line through two fixed points. Lines cannot actually be drawn; if you see it it is not a geometric line. If the points are on a curved surface as in a geometry that is non-Euclidian, then there can be infinitely many lines connecting two points.
Which two fixed point define the shape of an ellipse?
The two fixed points are the foci but these do not define the shape of the ellipse. You also need to know the eccentricity.
Which two fixed points define the shape of a hyperbola?
the foci (2 focal points) and the distance between the vertices.
