How long is a line segment?
how long is the line segmentthere is no set single length. A line segment is simply part of a line.
Is a ray line segment or line longer?
Let's think of a line segment as a finite set of points. Along those lines, (pun intended) think of a ray and a line as infinite sets of points. Then we think of longer in terms of the size of the set. So for example, a 2 inch line segment would be longer than a 1 inch line segment because we can have more points in the set which is made of the two inch segment. The ray and the line are the same size since they both can be viewed as sets containing an infinite number of points. The line segment being a finite set is smaller than the other two.
A set of points between two endpoints?
A line segment is a set of points between the two main end points. A line segment is always connected and has no open spaces.
What is a set of points that is endless in two directions a line ray plane or segment?
line
What is the set of two fixed points and all points in between them?
It is a line segment.
Why can you not define a line as an infinate set of points?
An infinite set of points can be a microscopically small line segment. An infinite number of points does not mean an infinitely long line.
The set of all the points in the plane that are a given distance from a line segment is a pair of lines parallel to the given segment?
Not quite. It is two parallel lines of the same length as the line segment plus two semicircles, one at each end of the line segment. The overall shape is like an oval running track with the original line segment down the middle.
What are all of the types of line segments?
Line segment AI, line segment BG, line segment GH and line segment CE
Can a curved line be a line segment?
No it can't because a line segment is a line that is straight. So it is not a line segment.
Is a line longer than a line segment?
A line extends forever into space and a line segment is a segment or part of a line, so a line is longer than a line segment.
Is railroad a line or line segment?
line segment
How are a line and a line segment are different?
a line can be indefinitely extended but a line segment is a part. a line segment cannot be extended:)
