What geometric object is the shortest path between two points?
2D line.
Which is the vector quantity that describes the shortest path between two points?
Distance.
Which is the best description of a line segment?
The shortest path between two points
Which geometric object is the shortest path between two points?
line segment
The shortest path from a starting point to an endpoint what is it called?
The shortest path between two points is called a geodesic. In flat (Euclidean) space it is simply a straight line.
Difference between shortest path and alternate path?
difference between shortest path and alternate path
How can you put linear in a sentence?
The shortest, most direct path between two points is linear.
Can you put linear in a sentence?
The shortest, most direct path between two points is linear.
Why integrated circuit is square?
It is easier to design that way and straight lines are the shortest path between two points.
Why is there no such thing as 2 sided polygons?
actually, there is, depending on your definition of polygon, and your definition of a line segment. A line segment is the shortest path btwn two points, right? So take a sphere and pick any two points on that sphere. The shortest path between them on the surface of the sphere would be a "curve" along the surface, but it's the shortest path between the points, so it technally is a line segment. Take two of these line segments that intersect at two points, and there is your two sided polygon!
Is the shortest path between two points a straight line?
Yes, on a plane surface (a flat sheet of paper, for example).
What is the shortest route between 2 points on the surface of a planet?
The shortest route between 2 points on the surface of a planet is a great circle route, which is a path that follows the circumference of a circle formed by the intersection of the planet's surface and a plane passing through its center. This route represents the shortest distance between the two points.
