What is the shortest distance between a point and a line?
The length of a line segment that starts at the point and is perpendicular to the original line.
To find the distance from a point C to the line AB you must find the length of the segment from C to AB?
perpendicular
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.
How do you find a segment bisector?
Adjust a compass so the distance between the point and the pencil is more than half of the length of the segment. With the point at one end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the segment. Without adjusting the compass, with the point at the other end of the segment draw an arc that intersects the first arc at two places. The line that includes those two intersecting points is the perpendicular bisector.
What are the distances from a point on the perpendicular bisector to the endpoints of a segment?
The distance will be length of the line divided by 2 because the perpendicular bisector cuts through the line at its centre and at right angles
The distance from a point C to the line AB is the length of the segment from C to AB?
That is correct. The distance from a point C to a line AB is the length of the perpendicular segment drawn from point C to line AB. This forms a right angle, creating a right triangle with the segment as the hypotenuse. The length of this perpendicular segment is the shortest distance from the point to the line.
Which of these is equal to the distance from a point to a line?
the length of a perpendicular segment from the point to the line

What is a point that divides a line segment into two segments of equal length?
A point that divides a segment into two segments of equal length is a midpoint.

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
What is the length of the path an object moves along?
The length of the path an object moves along is the total distance covered by the object from its starting point to its ending point. This can be calculated by summing the distances traveled along each segment of the path.

What is a point that divides a segment into 2 segments of equal length?
mid-point
What is a point equal distance from the end points of a line?
The point that is equal distance from the endpoints of a line segment is the midpoint.
Point that divides a segment into two segments of equal length?
This point is called the midpoint.
