How many midpoints does a line segment contain?
it depends on how long or how many joining segments it has. normally one line segment contains only one midpoint. Unless it has a joining segment there is only one midpoint.
How many lines of symmetry does an ellipse have?
An ellipse has two lines of mirror symmetry: the line that includes the two foci of the ellipse and the perpendicular bisector of the segment of that line between the two foci.
How many line segments in a pentagon?
5 line segments
How many line segments do a pentagon have?
5 line segments
How many line of symmetry does a regular polygon with x sides have?
A regular polygon with x sides has x lines of symmetry. Each line of symmetry passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. For example, a regular hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry, one for each pair of opposite sides. The formula for calculating the number of lines of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides x.

Explain why a line segment can have one midpoint but many bisectors
Why does a line segment have one midpoint and can have many bisectors?
A bisector is a line (or line segment) which passes through the midpoint. You can have multiple lines intersect at this one point, and all of them will bisect the original line segment, since they pass through its midpoint. A perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint, and also is perpendicular to the original line segment, so there will be only one of those.
How many bisectors could a segment have?
A segment has exactly one bisector. This bisector is a line (or line segment) that divides the original segment into two equal parts and is perpendicular to it. No matter the length of the segment, the unique bisector will always pass through the midpoint of the segment.
How many bisectors can a line segment have?
1
How many perpendicular bisectors can a line segment have?
Only one.
How many lines in a plane could be perpendicular bisectors of a segment?
In a plane, there are infinitely many lines that can serve as perpendicular bisectors of a given segment. The unique perpendicular bisector of a segment is a specific line that divides the segment into two equal parts at a right angle. However, any line parallel to this unique bisector, at any distance, can also be considered a perpendicular bisector if it intersects the segment at its midpoint. Thus, while the unique perpendicular bisector exists, an infinite number of lines can be drawn parallel to it.
How many midpoints does a line segment contain?
it depends on how long or how many joining segments it has. normally one line segment contains only one midpoint. Unless it has a joining segment there is only one midpoint.
How many perpindicuar bisectors can a line segment have?
Since there is no such word as "perpindicuar", it is difficult to be sure. A line segment can have only one perpendicular bisector.
How many perpendicular bisectors can be constructed for a line segment?
Exactly one. No more, no less.
How many midpoints can a line segment contain?
infinitely many * * * * * No. There can be only one midpoint.
Does a line segment have many bisectors?
no-- It only has one. Since it is a segment, it has a definite start and end, so it has only one middle (the bisector).
How many bisectors are in a segment?
Infinitely many. Each line segment contains one point which bisects it. Any one of the infinite lines through that point, apart from the original line, is a bisector.
