If two figures are the same size and shape, they are congruent. As a result, any two line segments with the same length can be deemed congruent. A line segment is a section of a line bounded by two points or connecting two points. Learn the defintiion, measurement, real life examples, and more!
In geometry, a line segment is a part of a straight line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line that is between its endpoints. It is a special case of an arc , with zero curvature .
Learn what a line segment is, how to divide and bisect it, and how it relates to polygons and polyhedrons. Find out the segment addition postulate and see diagrams and formulas.
Learn what a line segment is, how to measure and construct it, and how to find its length using distance formula. See examples of line segments in geometry and practice problems with solutions.
A line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints and a fixed length. Learn more about line segments and how to find the length of a line segment with formulas, and examples.
The part of a line that connects two points. It is the shortest distance between the two points. It has a length. 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":
