What is the shortest segment from any given point to a line is the what segment?
A perpendicular to the line which passes through the given point.
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.
What geometric object occupy one dimension Line Plane Ray Triangle Segment Point?
Line, Ray and segment
What is the distance between two points?
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.

Is a taut piece of thread a point line line segment ray or plane?
None of them since a thread has a finite length and finite width. A point has neither length nor width whereas a line, line segment and ray do not have any width. A plane has infinite length and width. The nearest approximation is a line segment.

What geometric term best describe the light that shines from a flashlight?
If on your paper your answers are point, ray, line segment, or plane i think it will be Plane
How many possibilities are there in point-segment relations?
Probably three:The point is not on the segment nor the corresponding line,The point is in the line segment,The point is not in the line segment as given but would be if the segment were extended.
A segment line or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint?
A Segment Bisector
