Question

Very quick definition: What do you call the relation between two points that have one or more points in between them? For example, in a square ABCD, A and C would have B in between and in a pentagon VWXYZ, V and X would have W in between them and V and Y would have both W and X between. So basically like non consecutive points? Please tell me if I make no sense I honestly don't know how to word it :P

Answer 1

Explanation:

Well believe it or not, that is not a simple question. Just look at what you left us to define. Your talking (for example) about a square and wondering what the vertex of B is called (other than a vertex.)

I think vertex is the only thing you can call B. But then there's a problem. What do you call the points on a segment? ___________? There are endpoints, but what's between those endpoints? I think you would just give them letter names and call them points. A point is dimensionless and there an infinite number of them in a segment.

Phew!!!
