Vonalrészlet

Vonalrészlet is a Hungarian term that translates to "line segment" in English. It refers to a finite portion of a straight line defined by two distinct endpoints. In geometry, a line segment is a fundamental concept and is often denoted by the two points that define it, for example, segment AB. Unlike a line, which extends infinitely in both directions, a line segment has a measurable length, which is the distance between its two endpoints. Line segments can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, depending on their orientation in a coordinate system. They are used extensively in constructing geometric shapes, calculating distances, and forming the basis for more complex geometric figures. The concept of a line segment is crucial in areas such as Euclidean geometry, trigonometry, and analytical geometry.
