Explain why line segment is considered a defined term in geometry.

1 answer:

3 0

The defined terms in geometry are terms that can be combined either with other defined or undefined terms. When they are combined, another term is generated.

A line segment is a line joining between two points along with all the points between them.

Combining two segments can generate other terms, for example,
combining line segments perpendicularly together will generate a right angle.

That's why line segments are considered defined terms in geometry.

I lined up all my snakes. The two pythons are 6 feet each. I also have three corn snakes that are the same length. Altogether, m

Given:
2 pythons : 6 ft each
3 corn snakes : same length
Total length = 21 ft.

Let x be the length of one corn snake.

2(6ft) + 3x = 21 ft
12ft + 3x = 21 ft
3x = 21 ft - 12 ft
3x = 9 ft
x = 9ft/3
x = 3ft

Each corn snake is 3 ft long.

3x + 12ft = 21ft
