Best Answer

Every line segment has exactly one bisection point - not "at least one".

A line segment has a length that is a finite real number, x, of some measurement units. Every real number can be divided by 2 to give another real number, y. Therefore y = x/2 or x = 2y.


A point that is y units from one end of the line will also be x - y = 2y - y = y units from the other end. That is the point is the bisection point.

What is a bisection point?

it is the point where something is "cut in half." So if we bisect a line, we cut it in half and the midpoint is the bisection point. That is just one example

No. Every point on a contour line has the same elevation.

If a right angle is bisected what type of angles are formed-?

In geometry a bisection refers to a division into two equal parts, for instance a bisection of an angle will involve constructing a line.


What is the number that corresponds to a certain point on a huber line?

Do you mean a number line?The question you asked contains the answer. Every point on a number line corresponds to a number, and every number has a corresponding point on the number line.


What does it mean to bisect an angle or a line segment?

∠PQR Where PQR form an angle and Q is the angle's vertex. The bisection is the line that goes between the lines QP and QR Bisection is a mathematical tool to find the root of intervals. Example: ∠PQR Form an angle of 75° A bisection would lead into two smaller angles which can be called ∠PQA and ∠RQA, both 37,5° And then you can do calculations on the smaller angles, depending on what root you are looking for.


What is a bisected angle?

In geometry a bisection refers to a division into two equal parts, for instance a bisection of an angle will involve constructing a line which divides the angle into two angles of equal size. A bisection of an angle on the plane ( i.e. a angle drawn on a 2 dimensional surface) can be performed using only a straight edge and a pair of compass.

Every point on a contour line is at a different elevation?

Every point on a given contour line is at the same elevation. Neighboring contour lines are at different elevations.
