Line Segment Practice for Free

Introduction for line segment:

Line segment is the important topic in geometrical chapter and math subject. Generally in math subject, a free long line is divided with two definite end points on both directions is known as line segments. But the line segment is a small part of a long line. In this article we are going to brief explain about line segment and line segment practice problems. And solve the some of example problems for free.

Line Segment Definition:

In math, a line segment can be defined as one small divided part of a lengthy line.
Line segment is also known as ‘a straight line’, which is joining the two points with coordinates, and the line is infinity after that, the end points.
So in this word segment is being an important role in line segment.
Example figure for line segment:



In this figure xy is the infinity line, and A, B are the two end points, and the line segments are bar (AB).
The length of the line segments AB would be written as bar (AB). And the line segments have used the name as to be two end points AB


Line segment formulas for solve practice problems:

The distance of two given points is called line segments length. The line segment length is calculated using formula for distance.
The line segments having two end points, this is have x and y coordinates. X(x1, y1) and Y(x2, y2)...
Line segment distance formula, XY = (sqrt((x2-x1)^(2)+ (y2-y1)^(2))
The line segment mid point formula, M = midpoint, M(x, y) = ((1/2(x1+x2), (1/2(y1+y2)))
These two are the important formulas for solve line segment problems.

Example Free Problems in Line Segment:

Example 1 for practice:

Using the distance formula, solve the length of line segment between two end points. End points are M = (3, 2), N = (5, 4)

Solution:

Line segment distance formula,

` MN= sqrt ((x2-x1) ^ (2) + (y2-y1) ^ (2))`

x1= 3   y1= 2   x2=5    y2=4

` MN = sqrt ((5-3) ^ (2) + (4-2) ^ (2))`

` MN = sqrt ((2) ^ (2) + (2) ^ (2))`

`MN = sqrt (4+ 4)`

`MN = sqrt (8)`

` MN = 2 sqrt (2)`

Answer is `2 sqrt (2)` .

Example 2 for practice:

What is the mid point between two points given? Solve (-3, -1), (4, 2)

Solution:

Using the mid point formula,

Midpoint formula = `((x1+x2) / 2), ((y1+y2) /2)`

And substitute (x1, y1) = (-3, -1) and (x2, y2) = (4, 2)

Midpoint = `((-3+4) /2), ((-1+2) /2) ` Simplify it and get,

And get midpoint = `(1/2), (1/2)`

The mid point between the two points is `(1/2), (1/2)` .

Those two example problems are free for understanding about line segments. Here we are giving some practice problems.I have recently faced lot of problem while learning cbse previous years question papers 12th, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Free practice problems in line segments:

Free practice problem 1:

Using the distance formula, solve the length of line segment between two end points. End points are M = (6, 2), N = (5, 4)

Answer is `sqrt (5)` .

Free practice problem 2:

Find the mid point between two points given? Solve (-5, -1), (6, 2)

Answer is (`1/2` , `1/2` )

Those all the above example problems and free practice problems are useful for understand the line segment practices.
