Give a definition for the term 'line segment'. Are there other terms that need to be defined first? What are they,and how might you define them?
(N/A) 'line segment' is defined as a part of a line that has two distinct endpoints and contains all the points on the line between them.
Yes,there are other terms that need to be defined first,specifically 'point' and 'line'.
$1$. Point: $A$ point is an exact location in space that has no dimensions (no length,breadth,or height).
$2$. Line: $A$ line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions and has no thickness.
