A line segment defined by ( n ) points is divided into ( n + 1 ) segments. Each point creates a division between two segments, so with ( n ) points, there are ( n ) divisions. Therefore, the total number of segments formed is equal to the number of divisions plus one, resulting in ( n + 1 ) segments.
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.
i don't know if you tell me I'll give u 50 points
Given that an octogon has eight sides, then the simplest way would be to enscribe a circle. Divide it exactly in half, then divide it in half again, at right angles to your first line.You now have four quarters. Divide each quarter in half, and you will have eight segments. Connect the points of the segments and you will have an octogon.
The number of non-overlapping segments formed by ( n ) collinear points is given by the formula ( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} ). This is because each pair of points can form a unique segment, and the total number of pairs of ( n ) points is calculated using combinations: ( \binom{n}{2} ). Thus, for ( n ) points, the maximum number of non-overlapping segments is ( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} ).
Normally a straight line segment.

Isotomic refers to points that have equal distance from two given points. In geometry, these points lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the two given points.
a line or segment that is perpendicular to the given segment and divides it into two congruent segments

No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.

That will depend on the coordinates of its end points which have not been given.
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.
