Can you draw a quadrilateral given only the midpoints of the sides and if so how?
Yes, you can, and there are infinitely many ways of doing so. 1) Connect the midpoints 2) Notice the parallelogram shape 3) Double the length of one of the sides, and draw it parallel to that side 4) Match the ends of that line to the midpoints. 5) Voila! A quadrilateral with the 4 points as midpoints.
How many endpoints do a line have?
A line segment has two endpoints
How many endpoints does a segment have-?
Just the two of them at each end of the line segment.
How many ways can you name a line?
line segment, line ab, __ ab
How many points are in a unique line?
Every line and every line segment of >0 length has an inifinite amount of unique points.Socratic Explaination:consider ...- There are 2 distinct points defining a line segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint.- The midpoint divides the original segment into 2 segments of equal length.- There are 2 distinct points used to define each segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint for each segment.- These midpoints divide the segments into smaller segments of equal length.- repeat until throughly beatenThis leads to a description of an infinite amount of points for any given line segment.This does not describe all the points of a line segment. Example: the points 1/3 of the distance from either of the the original 2 points are approached but never hit.Please, feel free to rephrase this explanation. I know it's sloppy.
