Explain do can a line segment have two mid points?

No, because if there is more than one midpoint then it will be like multiple line segments connected together. You can't have two midpoints or more, but you can have one to divide the line segment in half.

Yes.

What would be a quick way to find the center of a circle?

1 Mark three points anywhere on the circumference of the circle. Designate these points A, B and C. It doesn't matter where you put these points, but the farther they are from each other, the more accurate your calculations will be2 Draw a line connecting points A and B. Call this line AB. Do the same with points B and C to create line BC.3 Find the center of line AB and BC. You can either measure the distance and divide it in half or use geometry and bisect the lines. You can use a compass set at a distance greater than half the length of the line segment and make arcs above and below the line segment. Do this from both endpoints to form points above and below the line segment, then connect these points to divide the line segment in half. Mark these middle points D and E.4 Draw perpendicular lines from points D and E using the compass technique or using a protractor to find a 90-degree angle. Where these lines intersect is the center of the circle.Tips & WarningsYou can check that you have found the center of the circle. Simply measure from the point you found to the edge of the circle. Pick a few different points. If they are all the same distance, you have found the center.


How do you find the midpoint of a line segment if you know the endpoint?

How many points are in a unique line?

Every line and every line segment of >0 length has an inifinite amount of unique points.Socratic Explaination:consider ...- There are 2 distinct points defining a line segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint.- The midpoint divides the original segment into 2 segments of equal length.- There are 2 distinct points used to define each segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint for each segment.- These midpoints divide the segments into smaller segments of equal length.- repeat until throughly beatenThis leads to a description of an infinite amount of points for any given line segment.This does not describe all the points of a line segment. Example: the points 1/3 of the distance from either of the the original 2 points are approached but never hit.Please, feel free to rephrase this explanation. I know it's sloppy.

Why can a line segment have two end points?

The definition of a segment is a line between two points.
