A line segment's length is restricted by its endpoints
a parallel
A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points.
If you take two points and you connect them, that is a line segment. A line stretches infinitely in two directions.
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.
