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.
A line segment with both endpoints on a circle is a?
The correct term for a line segment with both endpoints on a circle is a chord. The diameter of a circle is also a chord.
A line segment that intersects with two points on a circle is called what?
A line segment that intersects with or joins two points on a circle is called a chord.
Is a point the chord of a circle?
No, it is not. A chord is a line segment. It cannot have a length of zero. A point has no dimensions. The chord of a circle is a line segment that has its endpoints (both of them) on the curve (or circumference) of the circle.
What is radial segment?
radial segment is the line which is determined by centre and a point on the circle .
What is a line that cuts a circle or a sphere in half called?
a bisecting line ? Diameter ______________ The question needs to be re-thought. Lines do not cut spheres in half, no matter where the line is in the sphere. The simplest thing that can cut a sphere in half would be a plane.
What is the length of a line segment between the center and circumference of a circle or sphere?
radius
Are lines on a sphere in the same plane?
Not necessarily. A plane dissecting a sphere would create a circle in that plane. so in order for the "line" to be both on the plane and the sphere the line would have to be a curve or segment of a circle.
A line that divides a line segment into 2 congruent parts?
bisecting
What is a line segment between two points on the circle or sphere which passes through the center?
A diameter - provided it meets the boundary of the circle or sphere on opposite sides.
What is the name of straight line bisecting a circle?
A diameter bisects a circle.
What is a radii of a circle?
Radii is the plural of radius. A radius is the length of a line segment between the center and the circumference of a circle or sphere.
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.
A segment with endpoints on a circle?
A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle. A secant is a line (or line segment) that intersects a circle in two places, endpoints NOT on the circle.
What is a line segment with one endpoint at the center of a circle and the other endpoint on the circle or the length of that segment?
The line segment is a radius.
What is a line segment with on endpoint on a circle and the other endpoint at the center?
Such a line segment would be a radius of the circle.
A line segment that connects the center of a circle to a point on the circle?
what about such a line segment? the length of such a segment is called the radius. the area of the circle is pi*the length of this segment squared the circumference is 2*pi*the length of this segment
