A line segment cannot have more than one midpoint or else you will be creating multiple line segments that are connected to each other. A line segment can only have one midpoint.

Why does the compass width have to be longer than half when bisecting a segment?
So that the arcs constructed are at midpoint of the line segment to be bisected.
How do you find the midpoint on a number line?
No number lines are infinite in length. If you have a section of the line, a segment, then the midpoint is the average of the lower and the higher value: (L> + H) / 2 (Lower value plus higher value divided by two) Note that if either of the values is less than zero you will have to think a little harder to get the absolute distance between them!
How many line segments can be drawn between two points?
There can only be one line segment between two points. If you only have two points, there's no way to create more than one line from one to the other without adding another point.
What tools are not needed to construct a segment bisector?
A hammer! A pneumatic drill! Anything other than a compass and a straight line (unmarked ruler).
What are Euclid's 5 postulates?
A straight line segment can be drawn by joining any two points.A straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.Given a straight line segment, a circle can be drawn using the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.All right angles are congruent.If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough.
A line segment may have more than midpoint?
A line segment cannot have more than one midpoint or else you will be creating multiple line segments that are connected to each other. A line segment can only have one midpoint.
Why a line segment cannot have two midpoint?
A line segment cannot have more than one midpoints because the midpoint is the halfway point between (or the middle of) the line segment, and the midpoint is exactly halfway between the beginning and exactly halfway between the end of the line segment, not a third of the way, etc.
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.
Why does the compass width have to be longer than half when bisecting a segment?
So that the arcs constructed are at midpoint of the line segment to be bisected.
Does a line segment have one more point than a ray?
A line segment has one more point than a ray
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.
What must be true if a segment intersects another segment at more than one point?
That means that it is not a line segment.
How do you contrust the mid point of a given line?
To construct the midpoint of a given line, use a compass to draw arcs on both ends of the line that intersect the line. Next, use a straight edge to draw a line connecting the two intersection points of the arcs. This line will pass through the midpoint of the original line.
How do you find the midpoint on a number line?
No number lines are infinite in length. If you have a section of the line, a segment, then the midpoint is the average of the lower and the higher value: (L> + H) / 2 (Lower value plus higher value divided by two) Note that if either of the values is less than zero you will have to think a little harder to get the absolute distance between them!
In hopeton if you a line segment one inch shorter than the line segment how long is it?
If the line segment is 1 inch shorter than the other line segment in Hopeton, then the length of the line segment would be 1 inch less than the length of the other line segment. So, if the other line segment is x inches long, then this line segment would be x - 1 inches long.
How is a line different than a line segment?
A line is continuous with no ending whereas a line segment is defined as having end points.
Is an arrow with two ends a line segment?
No. the arrow end comprises more than one straight line segments.
