How many points does 78 segments have?
Any line segment, no matter how short it is, has an infinite number of points.
Why can you not define a line as an infinate set of points?
An infinite set of points can be a microscopically small line segment. An infinite number of points does not mean an infinitely long line.
Is a segment on infinitive set of points?
No, but is an infinite set of points.
Is a segment an infinite set of points?
CIRCLE
What line has two points in it?
Any piece of a line has an infinite number of points on it, whether it's straight or curved. A line segment is a section of a line bounded by two endpoints. A line is continuous, but a line segment, is a segment of a line.
How many points may a line contain?
A line, ray, or line segment contains an infinite number of points.

How many points does a line segment have?
Infinite! When you speak of a "point" on a line segment, you're referring to infinitely small locations, not physical dots that you might draw on the segment. If you think of a "point" as being located at a certain distance from one of the end points of a 3 inch segment, such as 2.31 inches from the left side, you could always add more and more decimal places to the distance, such as 2.3173... to identify an infinite number of "points" or locations on the segment. A segment has 2 points one at the end and one at the beginning.**The answer as to how many points are on a line segment is "infinite". A given line segment is determined by it's two "end points", but has an infinite set of points between and including these two end points that make up the segment itself.

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....
What has an infinite number of points?
The radius of a circle or a sphere has infinite number of points.
How many points are contained in a line?
A point has no size, and a line is of infinite length, so it contains an infinite number of points. It takes only two points to describe or identify a line, but number of points it contains is infinte. Actually, even a line segment has an infinite number, since it is not possible to get two points so close together that another point won't fit between them.
Can line segments be broken down into points?
A line segment consists of an infinite number of points. Depending on how you define "breaking it down", yes, it's possible. But of course not in a finite number of steps.
Between how many pairs of points can you measure a circle's diameter?
There are an infinite number of points on the circumference of a circle and an infinite number of points on a semi-circle so the answer to your question is "An infinite number of pairs of points."
