What is a segment in geometry?
Two end points.
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.
What is a line in geometry?
the line in geometry is a line segment that never ends
What is it called in geometry when a point bisects a segment?
a line
What is a monogon?
A monogon (more commonly called the Henagon) is a one-sided polygon. In Euclidean Geometry, (on a flat plane) it is considered a impossible because lines continue on forever. In Spherical Geometry, [on a spherical (circular) plane] a finite monogon can be drawn by placing a placing a single vertex on a circle because circles are basically a polygon with infinite sides.
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:)
What can a line segment grow to?
A line segment can grow into a longer line segment if one or both of its endpoints are extended. Additionally, if it is extended indefinitely in both directions, it can become a full line. In geometric terms, if a line segment is extended beyond its endpoints, it can also represent a ray if it is only extended from one endpoint.
What do you call a line with arrows on both ends?
A line with arrows on both ends is called a "line segment" or simply a "line." In geometry, it represents an infinite collection of points extending indefinitely in both directions. This is different from a "line segment," which has defined endpoints.
What is the distance between two points?
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
What is distance distance between two points?
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
What is a line that starts at a point and goes off in one direction indefinately?
In the context of basic geometry, a line that starts at a specific point and goes off indefinitely is called a "ray" (as opposed to a line or a line segment).
What are five basic postulates of the euclidean geometry?
The five basic postulates of Geometry, also referred to as Euclid's postulates are the following: 1.) A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points. 2.) Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line. 3.) Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as a radius and one endpoint as the center. 4.) All right angles are congruent. 5.) 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 (or 180 degrees), then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. (This postulate is equivalent to what is known as the parallel postulate.)
What is a line xy?
In geometry, a line segment denoted as XY refers to the straight path connecting two points, X and Y, in a two-dimensional space. It has a definite length and can be represented mathematically by the coordinates of its endpoints. If extended infinitely in both directions, it can be referred to as a line, which has no endpoints and continues indefinitely. In coordinate geometry, the equation of line XY can be determined using the slope-intercept form or point-slope form based on the coordinates of points X and Y.
What is a segment in geometry?
Two end points.
How could drawing a line on a sphere refute Euclids second postulate that a line segment may be extended indefinitely.?
Because it will eventually complete a Circle, like the dachshund that met its end going round a lamp-post.
Name the subsets of a line geometry?
There are only two subsets of a line in a geometry: segment and ray. Line is an infinite set of points. Segment is a part of a line from one point to another. Ray starts at one point of a line and goes on indefinitely in one direction. source: Next Century Mathematics (3rd year high school) by Mercado, Suzara and Orines.

What is the difference between segment and line?
A segment only goes between 2 fixed points where a line goes on indefinitely
