Best Answer

The length of a line segment is called the distance. To find the distance, you need to know the coordinate of its endpoints given as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the distance formula.

Which is long a line or a segment?

A line is of infinite length, a segment is of finite length.


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


A line segment has only length and no width true or false?

It is true. A line segment has finite length but no width.


How many dimesions does a line segment have?

A line segment has one dimension . . . length.


How is the midpoint of a segment different from the length of a segment?

Mostly because, assuming it just one segment, a midpoint by definition (mid- means middle) is the point at the exact middle of a line segment; whereas the length of the segment is the entire length of the segment. Pretty much, a midpoint is a point in the middle of the line, the length is the measurement of the same line.


What is the subset of a line that has a definite length?

That looks like the description of a line segment.


Is a taut piece of thread a point line line segment ray or plane?

None of them since a thread has a finite length and finite width. A point has neither length nor width whereas a line, line segment and ray do not have any width. A plane has infinite length and width. The nearest approximation is a line segment.
