What else can I help you with?
Can a point or a line segment be its own preimage?
A point or a line segment can be a preimage of itself because a line can be reflected or rotated.
What constructions can be accomplished paper folding?
Finding the midpoint of a segment Drawing a perpendicular line segment from a given point to a given segment Drawing a perpendicular line segment through a given point on a given segment Drawing a line through a given point parallel to a given line
A point on a line segment that divides the segment into two congruent segments?
The mid-point
What is midpoint?
The point on a line segment that is equidistant from the ends of the segment. So pretty much a point in the middle of a segment
What Has a starting point and ending point?
a line segment
The shortest segment from a point to a line?
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.
What type of segment from a point to a line or plane is the shortest segment from the point to the line or plane?
A ray
What is the shortest segment from any given point to a line is the what segment?
A perpendicular to the line which passes through the given point.
What is the shortest distance between a point and a line?
The length of a line segment that starts at the point and is perpendicular to the original line.
The distance from a point C to the line AB is the length of the segment from C to AB?
That is correct. The distance from a point C to a line AB is the length of the perpendicular segment drawn from point C to line AB. This forms a right angle, creating a right triangle with the segment as the hypotenuse. The length of this perpendicular segment is the shortest distance from the point to the line.
How many possibilities are there in point-segment relations?
Probably three:The point is not on the segment nor the corresponding line,The point is in the line segment,The point is not in the line segment as given but would be if the segment were extended.
What is the shortest path between to points?
a segment of a strate line
Show that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it the perpendicular line segment is the shortest?
To show that the perpendicular line segment is the shortest among all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let the given point be P and the line segment be AB, with the perpendicular from P meeting AB at C. By the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In this case, PC is the hypotenuse, and AP and AC are the other two sides. Thus, AC (perpendicular line segment) will always be shorter than any other line segment AB drawn from point P.
Middle point of line segment?
divide the line segment in half to aquire the center point
What is the name for the shortest line segment between two points in space?
straight line.
What is a sentence for line segment?
A line segment is a line hat starts at one point and ends at another literal point.
Can a point or a line segment be its own preimage?
A point or a line segment can be a preimage of itself because a line can be reflected or rotated.
