    True.

    A line segment is a section of a line. It is named and determined by its endpoints. Unlike a line, whose length is infinite, a line segment has finite length.

    The midpoint of a line segment is the point on the segment that is equidistant (the same distance) from each endpoint. Because a midpoint splits a line segment into two equal halves, the midpoint is said to bisect the line segment.

    Because a midpoint cuts a line segment in half, knowing the distance between the midpoint and one endpoint of a line segment allows you to calculate the length of the entire line segment. For example, if the distance from one endpoint to the midpoint of a line segment is 5, the length of the whole line segment is 10.

    True

    The answer is in the question. If it is a midpoint of a line segment, it has to be on that given line

    True.

    The "midpoint" of a line segment, is literally the "middle" point of the line segment.

    A line segment always contains its own middle point.

    If that construction is over a particular top then specific it is real. It has to do with middle of stability. construction are no longer a sturdy which will tip over and fall in one piece, the backside it is under the main rigidity provides way and the construction falls down at once. international commerce centers a million,2,& 7 all did it. In a million & 2 the precise section weakened by using fact of hearth on steel acted as a hammer pushing down the construction. In WTC 7 the backside have been maximum weight is buckled after fires have been allowed to burn by using region. Take a deck of enjoying cards and attempt to push it over - it truly is going to fall at once down.
