What else can I help you with?
How do you find the midpoint of a line segment?
The midpoint of a line segment would be to add up all of the numbers in the segment. Then divide by the number of numbers that were added. For example if a 1, 3, and 8 were added, divide by 3. This will give the midpoint of the line segment.
How do you find an endpoint if you are given one endpoint and the midpoint?
If you are only given one endpoint and a midpoint, you know what the middle of the line segment is. Since the midpoint is half of what the line segment's length is, all you have to do is find the distance between the endpoint given and the midpoint, then add that coordinate to your midpoint and get your other endpoint. For example: Endpoint A: (4,5) Midpoint: (6,8) Distance between: (2,3) Add (2,3) to (6,8) and get Endpoint B: (8,11).
What geometric figure consisting of two points on a line and all the points between them?
line segment
Do all the points between two points in a line make up the line?
no just jocking
The set of all points collinear to two points is a....?
line
Why a line segment has only one midpoint but can have many bisectors?
All bisectors intersect the line segment at the midpoint. There can be multiple bisectors, intersecting at the midpoint at different angles, but they all intersect the line segment at its midpoint. The midpoint separates the line segment into two equal halves.
How many points are in a unique line?
Every line and every line segment of >0 length has an inifinite amount of unique points.Socratic Explaination:consider ...- There are 2 distinct points defining a line segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint.- The midpoint divides the original segment into 2 segments of equal length.- There are 2 distinct points used to define each segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint for each segment.- These midpoints divide the segments into smaller segments of equal length.- repeat until throughly beatenThis leads to a description of an infinite amount of points for any given line segment.This does not describe all the points of a line segment. Example: the points 1/3 of the distance from either of the the original 2 points are approached but never hit.Please, feel free to rephrase this explanation. I know it's sloppy.
If R and S are two points in the plane the perpendicular bisector of line RS is the set of all points equidistant from R and S?
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment RS is a line that is perpendicular to RS at its midpoint. This line consists of all points that are equidistant from both points R and S. Thus, any point on this bisector will have the same distance to R as it does to S. It serves as a geometric locus of points maintaining this equal distance property.
If a and b are two points in the plane the perpendicular bisector of a B is the set of all points equidistant from a and b true or false?
True. The perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting points ( a ) and ( b ) is defined as the set of all points that are equidistant from both ( a ) and ( b ). This line is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint and ensures that any point on this line maintains equal distance to both endpoints.
Given two points A and B in the three dimensional space what is the set of points equidistant from A and B?
A plane is the set of all points in 3-D space equidistant from two points, A and B. If it will help to see it, the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from points A and B in the plane will be a line. Extend that thinking off the plane and you'll have another plane perpendicular to the original plane, the one with A and B in it. And the question specified that A and B were in 3-D space. Another way to look at is to look at a line segment between A and B. Find the midpoint of that line segment, and then draw a plane perpendicular to the line segment, specifying that that plane also includes the midpoint of the line segment AB. Same thing. The set of all points that make up that plane will be equidistant from A and B. At the risk of running it into the ground, given a line segment AB, if the line segment is bisected by a plane perpendicular to the line segment, it (the plane) will contain the set of all points equidistant from A and B.
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 do you find the midpoint of a line segment?
The midpoint of a line segment would be to add up all of the numbers in the segment. Then divide by the number of numbers that were added. For example if a 1, 3, and 8 were added, divide by 3. This will give the midpoint of the line segment.
If a and b are two points in the plane the perpendicular bisector of ab is the set of all points equidistant from a to b?
The perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting points ( a ) and ( b ) in a plane is a line that is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint. This line consists of all points that are equidistant from ( a ) and ( b ). Therefore, if any point lies on the perpendicular bisector, it maintains equal distance from both points. This property is fundamental in geometry and is used in various applications, including triangulation and construction.
Points that do not all lie on the same line are called?
Noncollinear points are points which are not all on a common line.
How do you find an endpoint if you are given one endpoint and the midpoint?
If you are only given one endpoint and a midpoint, you know what the middle of the line segment is. Since the midpoint is half of what the line segment's length is, all you have to do is find the distance between the endpoint given and the midpoint, then add that coordinate to your midpoint and get your other endpoint. For example: Endpoint A: (4,5) Midpoint: (6,8) Distance between: (2,3) Add (2,3) to (6,8) and get Endpoint B: (8,11).
How do you call the points in a line?
All points on the same line are colinear but if you mean what are the points all called collectively - they represent a "locus of points".
What is a portion of a line that includes two points and all of the collinear points between the two points?
'Line Segment' is a portion of a line that includes two points and all of the collinear points between the hypothetical two points also 'Line Segment' because a line or line segment is a set of infinite points and the infinite points are collinear....
