Is a ray line segment or line longer?
Let's think of a line segment as a finite set of points. Along those lines, (pun intended) think of a ray and a line as infinite sets of points. Then we think of longer in terms of the size of the set. So for example, a 2 inch line segment would be longer than a 1 inch line segment because we can have more points in the set which is made of the two inch segment. The ray and the line are the same size since they both can be viewed as sets containing an infinite number of points. The line segment being a finite set is smaller than the other two.
What is longer a line or line segment?
A line segment is actually a normal line:( yes i know i couldn't believe it myself either), a real line goes on forever, (both ways up and down and never end). Whereas a line segment, has a ending at both sides no matter how long the line segment is drawn...It is still a line segment. So basically, you could draw a long line segment for the rest of your life and that would still be a line segment. So to round it off. You.Can.Never.Draw.A.Line. Sorry :}
Which is longest a ray line or line segment?
A ray line is longer, since it has an end point and then extends forever in the other direction its length is infinite, whereas a segment has a definite length defined by two endpoints.
What is formed by two endpoints?
A line segment.A line segment.A line segment.A line segment.
A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint?
A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint bisects the segment.
Is a line segment longer than a ray?
no
A line is longer than a line segment?
um i think.......
Can a line segment be longer than a line?
No, Aline never ends. EVER
Can you make a line segment longer than the diameter of circle?
Not if the whole segment is inside the circle.
Why does the compass width have to be longer than half when bisecting a segment?
So that the arcs constructed are at midpoint of the line segment to be bisected.
Which is longer a line or a line segment?
a line is loger.line segment is a finite part of a line while the line is infinite

Which is longest A line segment a line or a ray?
A line is longer.!?!
In hopeton if you a line segment one inch shorter than the line segment how long is it?
If the line segment is 1 inch shorter than the other line segment in Hopeton, then the length of the line segment would be 1 inch less than the length of the other line segment. So, if the other line segment is x inches long, then this line segment would be x - 1 inches long.

Does a line segment have one more point than a ray?
A line segment has one more point than a ray
How is a line different than a line segment?
A line is continuous with no ending whereas a line segment is defined as having end points.
