There is no reason that the length of a line segment can't be measured.There is no reason that the length of a line segment can't be measured.There is no reason that the length of a line segment can't be measured.There is no reason that the length of a line segment can't be measured.
The definition for length of segment is the distance between the endpoints of s segment
If you travel along the length of the segment from one end to the other, whether it is curved or straight, you can measure its length. The midpoint is the spot on the segment at this mid length, equidistant from the endpoints when moving on the segment.

pq
Because b is the mid point of pq, pb = qb. pb is half as long as pq Eq#1....pb = 1/2 pq Eq#2....pq = pb +8 Substitute Eq#1 into Eq #2 pq = 1/2 pq + 8 subtracting1/2 pq from both sides 1/2 pq = 8 pq = 16 problem here: you can't subtract 1/2 ... you would have to divide.

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 is of infinite length, a segment is of finite length.
If you travel along the length of the segment from one end to the other, whether it is curved or straight, you can measure its length. The midpoint is the spot on the segment at this mid length, equidistant from the endpoints when moving on the segment.
