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.
Can you draw anthere line segment between p and q which is different from the first?
No. There is exactly one line (and therefore line segment) through any two points.
How are a line segment and a ray different?
A line segment is a line between two points, while rays only has one end point and goes infinitely from that point in a direction.
Is railroad a line or line segment?
line segment
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 is a line segment different thin a line?
A line segment has ends. A line doesn't.
How Are A Line And A Line Segment Different?
A line is never ending, a line segment is a line that starts somewhere and ends some where
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.
How is a line a line segment and a ray are different?
A line segment has a finite length. A ray extends to infinity in one direction.
How is a line a line segment and a ray different?
A line segment has a finite length. A ray extends to infinity in one direction.
How are segment and an arc different?
A segment is a part of a line. An arc is a part of a circle.
Is RS the same line segment as SR?
In geometry, yes, those are different names of the same line segment.
How is line segment and endpoint different?
Line segments are pieces of a line, and are finite. Lines go on infinitely.
How is line and line segment different?
A line going through two points goes off endlessly to infinity in both directions. A line segment is a finite portion of that line. A line segment may be very large, but it is not infinite in length.
Can a line segment have two midpoints?
No. Any line segment has exactly one midpoint.
Is line segment AB equals BA?
According to the symmetric property (and common sense) line segmetn AB is congruet to line segment BA since they are the same segment, just with a different name
How is a line different from a line segment?
A line is basically a combination of two joined rays pointing in opposite directions. A line has no endpoints and a line segment has two. <--------------> line ---------------> or <------------ ray .________. line segment (It's supposed to be a line with dots at the end to signify endpoint)
