Line Segment Diagram Geometry
So the length of the given line segment is 5 cm.
Line segment diagram geometry. Drawing a line segment using ruler and compass. This geometry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into lines rays line segments points and angles. A line segment is named by its two endpoints and written as line segment ab or line segment pq. Let us join them by drawing a straight line.
Read the number on the scale where the line segment ends. The part of a line that connects two points. For lack of a better word a straight line. It has a length.
So most of the lines that we experience in our everyday reality are actually line segments when we think of it from a pure geometrical point of view. A line segment is something just like that. In this case it is 5. It also explains the difference between the u.
Suppose we need to draw a. And i know i drew a. A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points and contains every point on the line between its end points. It starts from point a and ends at point b.
Identify the line segment you want to measure. It is the shortest distance between the two points. One and only one line segment can be between two given points a and b. Adding the word segment is important because a line normally extends in both directions without end.
But a line segment has definite end points. Try moving points a and b. Place the tip of the ruler at the starting point of the line segment. In the figure above a line segment ab has two end points a and b.
