2. Line segment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_segment

   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. In geometry , a line segment is often denoted using an overline ( vinculum ) above the symbols for the two endpoints, such as in AB .

3. Midpoint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint

   Given two points of interest, finding the midpoint of the line segment they determine can be accomplished by a compass and straightedge construction.The midpoint of a line segment, embedded in a plane, can be located by first constructing a lens using circular arcs of equal (and large enough) radii centered at the two endpoints, then connecting the cusps of the lens (the two points where the ...

4. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

   Here, p is the (positive) length of the line segment perpendicular to the line and delimited by the origin and the line, and is the (oriented) angle from the x-axis to this segment. It may be useful to express the equation in terms of the angle α = φ + π / 2 {\displaystyle \alpha =\varphi +\pi /2} between the x -axis and the line.

5. Midpoint theorem (triangle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_theorem_(triangle)

   The converse of the theorem is true as well. That is if a line is drawn through the midpoint of triangle side parallel to another triangle side then the line will bisect the third side of the triangle. The triangle formed by the three parallel lines through the three midpoints of sides of a triangle is called its medial triangle.

6. List of mathematical shapes - Wikipedia

   There is only one polytope in 1 dimension, whose boundaries are the two endpoints of a line segment, represented by the empty Schläfli symbol {}. Two-dimensional regular polytopes [ edit ]

7. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(geometry)

   For two non-parallel line segments (,), (,) and (,), (,) there is not necessarily an intersection point (see diagram), because the intersection point (,) of the corresponding lines need not to be contained in the line segments. In order to check the situation one uses parametric representations of the lines:
