Remark.

It's true. A line segment has a finite length. A line is infinitely long. It takes a lot of something that is finite to cover something that is infinite.

________ Suppose this is a part of a line. Just a part mind you.

.................... these are line segments. How many segments will it take to cover a line if you keep on extending the line to the line's "full" length?

Answer:

Not completely correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines definition is axiomatic, greeks were the first society that gave a definition of this abstract concept.

According to Euclidean Geometry, lines are composed of an infinite number of points, not segments.

Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equiptment storage room where she works. the room is 2 meters long than it is wi

ElenaW [278]

Rectangle:
P = 2 (L+W) but length is 2 meters longer than wide
then L = W + 2, So
P = 2 (L + W)
24 = 2(W+2+W)
24 = 2 (2 + 2W)
24 = 4 + 4W
So 4W = 24 -4 =20
W = 20/4= 5, L = 5+2= 7

Double check
24 = 2*(5+7) = 2 *12 = 24
