No, Line Segments do not have a fixed length. A line segment can be as long as you want it to be but, it has to stop somewhere. It is not a line and so it does not continue on for-ever.

What is a line with two dots called?

A line with two dots is typically referred to as a "line segment." In geometry, a line segment is defined as a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints, represented by the dots. Unlike a full line that extends infinitely in both directions, a line segment has a fixed length defined by its endpoints.


How long is the blue line segment The length of the transverse axis is 11 and the length of the red line segment is 19.?

To determine the length of the blue line segment, we need to understand the context of the transverse axis and the red line segment. If the red line segment represents the length of the major axis of an ellipse, and the transverse axis is the distance across the ellipse at its widest point, then the blue line segment could be half the length of the transverse axis. However, without additional information about the relationship between these segments, a precise length for the blue line segment cannot be determined.


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.


Which step in the construction of copying a line segment ensures that the new line segment has the same length?

The step in the construction of copying a line segment that ensures the new line segment has the same length is the use of a compass. When you place the compass at one endpoint of the original line segment and adjust it to span the length of the segment, you can then replicate this exact distance from a new starting point. This guarantees that the length of the newly drawn segment matches that of the original.

What are the line segments?

Line segments are parts of a line that have fixed endpoints. In Geometry, line segment form the edges of the polygon and appear in countless ways. This can only measure the length of segment but not of a line.

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.

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.
