What is the difference between a line and opposite rays?
A line segment is a smaller section of a straight line and has a finite length and distinctively identified on a drawing by the points at the both ends
What is the meaning of the word line in geometry?
A line is a one-dimensional set of points that extends to infinity in each of its two directions without any turns (if it had a turn it would be two-dimensional). The word line is also commonly used to refer to a line segment, which has two end points and therefore does not extend to infinity. A line with one end point that extends to infinity in one direction is called a ray.
Define the sumbols used in a pedigree a square a circle an unshaded circle a shaded square a horizontal line and a vertical line?
In a pedigree:=a square means male, a circle means female, an unshaded circle means that doesn't have traits and a shaded square means has traits.==the horizontal line describe that they are parents and vertical line describes that they are the offspring of that parents.=
Define staff authority?
Staff authority - granted to staff specialists in their areas of expertise. Narrower than line authority and includes the right to advise, recommend, and counsel in the staff specialists' area of expertise. It has an influence that derives indirectly from line authority at a higher level.
Define radius of gyration state s.i. units of moment of inertia and give its dimensions?
The Radius of Gyration of an Area about a given axis is a distance k from the axis. At this distance k an equivalent area is thought of as a line Area parallel to the original axis. The moment of inertia of this Line Area about the original axis is unchanged.
How would you define line segment?
a line with two arrows on the end.
What undefined terms are needed to define a line segment?
13
What are the 2 subset of a line define each?
ray and segment
Does it take 2 points to define a line segment?
Yes it does, because of its 2 ends
How do you find the midpoint of a segment with the endpoints -4 -14 -229?
There are only three endpoint given and these are not sufficient to define a segment of a line.
Can a line have a midpoint or bisector?
If you mean a line segment, then yes, every line segment has a midpoint. However, some ideas of a line define it as going on forever in a certain plane, so if is it a line without beginning or end, then it can't really have a midpoint since there is nothing to measure from. You would have to define a starting and ending point before it could have a midpoint.
Why is ray CD the same as ray DC?
They define the same line segment, connecting two points.
Why can you not define a line as an infinate set of points?
An infinite set of points can be a microscopically small line segment. An infinite number of points does not mean an infinitely long line.
How many line segments in letter E?
Depending on how you choose to define a line segment, you may conclude that the letter E has 4 or 5 line segments.
What are all of the types of line segments?
Line segment AI, line segment BG, line segment GH and line segment CE
Is a line longer than a line segment?
A line extends forever into space and a line segment is a segment or part of a line, so a line is longer than a line segment.
Can a curved line be a line segment?
No, a line segment is a straight path that connects two points without any curves. A curved line, on the other hand, is not a line segment because it deviates from a straight path.
