Explanation:
A line segment is <u>part of a line</u> that connects points. It limited consequently, it has length.
- Duru's definition: A line segment is a line connecting two endpoints
It is missing that it is just a part of the line. A ray also connects two points but extends infinetly in one direction. Thus, Duru's definition is not so specific.
That justifies teacher's comment:
- Teacher's comment: What you've written is true, but it isn't a correct definition. A ray would also fit your defenition
Second definition:
- Oliver's definition: A line segment is when three points are all on the same line.
The constraint of a line segment to three points all on the same line corresponds to collinear points. Two points always form a line,, but three points lie on a line only in they are collinear.
That justifies, theacher's comment:
- Teacher's comment: Were you thinking of the team collinear?
Third definition:
- Carlos' definition: A line segment is part of a line, not the whole thing.
Mathematicall language is formal. You must use precise words. An expression as 'whole thing" is not formal.
That justifies teacher's comment:
- Teacher's comment: I think you have the right idea, but you need to be more careful with your language.
Answer:Some College Require Subject Tests For Admissions
Explanation: Just Took A Test
The length of the segment is an illustration of intersecting chords
The value of x is x = 27/14
<h3>How to determine the length of the segment?</h3>
From the complete question (see attachment), we have:
AD = 12
AE = 3
BE = 14
EC = x
Start by calculating the length of ED
ED = AD - AE
This gives
ED =12 - 3
ED =9
The value of x is then calculated as:
x * BE = AE * ED
Substitute known values
x * 14 = 3 * 9
Evaluate the product
x * 14 = 27
Divide both sides by 14
x = 27/14
Hence, the value of x is x = 27/14
