Use precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment from point/line/distance ideas.

Define a line segment using endpoints

Problem

Define the displayed segment \(AB\) precisely in terms of its endpoints and points on the line.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

When geometry asks for a precise definition, every phrase has a job: name the ambient line, the boundary points, and the membership condition. We’ll build the statement from A and B and use the contrast with a ray or a full line to test whether the boundary behavior is correct.
