a line segment is a part of a straight line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints (its extreme points), and contains every point on the line that...

involves a bisecting line, also called a bisector. The most often considered types of bisectors are the segment bisector, a line that passes through the...

general line (now called a curve) is defined as a "breadthless length", and a straight line (now called a line segment) was defined as a line "which lies...

In mathematics, a curve (also called a curved line in older texts) is an object similar to a line, but that does not have to be straight. Intuitively...

respectively. Line FG (in blue) intersects the line m at H, defining the other endpoint of the line segment. Segment EH now exists coincident with line m and...

it with additional structure. It can be swept as a ruled surface by a line segment rotating in a rotating plane, with or without self-crossings. A thin...

In computational geometry, the multiple line segment intersection problem supplies a list of line segments in the Euclidean plane and asks whether any...

sweep line algorithm for listing all crossings in a set of line segments, i.e. it finds the intersection points (or, simply, intersections) of line segments...

piecewise linear or segmented function is a real-valued function of a real variable, whose graph is composed of straight-line segments. A piecewise linear...

Look up segment, segmentation, or segmental in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Segment, segmentation, segmented, or segmental may refer to: Segmentation...

(or two line segments), between a line and a plane, and between two planes. Perpendicular is also used as a noun: a perpendicular is a line which is...

Given a line segment AB and a point C not on the line determined by that segment, construct the image of C upon reflection across this line. Construct...

In geometry, a diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the centre of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. It...

a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which...

distance between two points on a sphere is the length of a minor spherical line segment (that is, one with central angle in [0, π]) with those endpoints. The...

In geometry, the mean line segment length is the average length of a line segment connecting two points chosen uniformly at random in a given shape. In...

Using a to denote the line segment CB, b to denote the line segment AC, c to denote the line segment AB, d to denote the line segment CH and h for the height...

chord is the line segment determined by the two points, that is, the interval on the secant whose ends are the two points. A straight line can intersect...

point of the circle and the centre is called the radius. The length of a line segment connecting two points on the circle and passing through the centre is...

length of the circle, as if it were opened up and straightened out to a line segment. More generally, the perimeter is the curve length around any closed...

type of line segment joining two vertices in a polygon, polyhedron, or higher-dimensional polytope. In a polygon, an edge is a line segment on the boundary...

In geometry, a set of points is convex if it contains every line segment between two points in the set. For example, a solid cube is a convex set, but...

as follows: A straight line is said to have been cut in extreme and mean ratio when, as the whole line is to the greater segment, so is the greater to...

with number theory, with numbers treated geometrically as lengths of line segments or areas of surface regions. Notions such as prime numbers and rational...

example, a 0-dimensional simplex is a point, a 1-dimensional simplex is a line segment, a 2-dimensional simplex is a triangle, a 3-dimensional simplex is a...

of a line segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints, and it is the centroid both of the segment and of the endpoints. It bisects the segment. The...

given line segment. The rectangle could be "applied" to the segment (meaning, have an equal length), be shorter than the segment or exceed the segment. A...

the line segment BB' and using a hyperbolic ruler, construct the line OI" such that OI" is perpendicular to BB' and parallel to B'I". Then, line OA is...

straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on a circular arc. If a chord were to be extended infinitely on both directions into a line, the object...

the plane, line segment, and other related concepts. A line segment consisting of only a single point is called a degenerate line segment.[citation needed]...
