What is the definition of line segment?

1 answer:

6 0

In geometry, 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 endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints.

Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

it because the reflection change the value of x become -y

so the reflection we can use is the line y = -x

HELP The minute hand of a clock is 5 inches long. to the the nearest tenth of an inch, how far does the tip of the minute hand t

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

18.326 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking us to find the arc length that the tip of the minute hand travels. The formula for an arc length is S=θr. So we need th find the angle that the minute hand passes through. We know that there is 360 degrees in a cicle and there is 12 stops around a clock, so divide 360 by 12 to find the degrees the minute hand travels every 5 minutes. We ge that every 5 minutes the hand travels 30 degrees, and 35 minutes is 7*5 so we multiple 30*7 to find the angular displacement, and we get 210 degrees. This equation uses radians though so we have to convert, which can be done doing $\frac{210}{1} *\frac{\pi }{180}$ , and we ge that θ is $\frac{7\pi }{6}$ so ( $\frac{7\pi }{6}$ )(5)= 18.326 inches
