The unity of direction, or that we cannot march from a given point by more than one path direct to the same object, is matter of practical experience long before it can by possibility become matter of abstract thought.
To erect a perpendicular on a given point on any line, measure equal distances on either side; set in pegs, loop a cord on them alternately, and strike two arcs, their intersection will be perpendicular to the given point.
The machine once put in motion will go on for ages, and advance, as if self-guided, towards a given point.
If such an administration succeeds in condensing at a given moment, on a given point, all the disposable resources of a people, it impairs at least the renewal of those resources.
Aristocratic government proceeds with the dexterity of art; it understands how to make the collective force of all its laws converge at the same time to a given point.
Among all the lines that can be drawn from a given point to a given right line, the perpendicular is the shortest, and the oblique lines are longer in proportion to their divergence from the foot of the perpendicular.
Footnote 1: It will be admitted, as a postulate, that only one parallel to a given right line can pass through a given point.
Through a given point, to draw a right line parallel to a given right line, or cutting it at a given angle.
If at a given point a in space, the particles of water always arrive with the same velocity and in the same direction, during any given time, then the motion is termed steady motion.
No instrument has been so much used in directly determining the velocity of a stream at a given point as the screw current meter.
A preliminary difficulty arises in observing the velocity at a given point in a stream because the velocity rapidly varies, the motion not being strictly steady.
Observation shows that the velocity of the water at a given point is not constant.
A property of the conic sections by virtue of which a given point determines a corresponding right line and a given right line determines a corresponding point.
The circle which bounds that part of the earth's surface visible to a spectator from a given point; the apparent junction of the earth and sky.
Extent from side to side, or distance sidewise from a given point or line; breadth; width.
Find the order of infinity of all the spheres in space that pass through a given point; through two given points; through three given points; through four given points.
Construction of the polar line of a given point 102.
He assumes at the start that: Through a given point can be drawn two parallels to a given straight.
As to the size of the temple, the dimensions given in the text may be considered as accurate so far as they agree with the description given in the First Book of Kings.
Thus the questions: "What is the locus of a point equidistant from two given points; at a constant distance from a given straight line or from a given point?
We prove, for example, that the angles opposite the equal sides of a triangle are equal, a fact that is probably quite as obvious as the postulate that but one line can be drawn through a given point parallel to a given line.
At a given point in a line, to erect a perpendicular to that line.
The sum of two lines drawn from a given pointto the extremities of a given line is greater than the sum of two other lines similarly drawn, but included by them.
Estimate strength by length of time it takes to pass a given point.
It requires 20 minutes for them to pass a given point.
A scenario which constantly states that at a given pointsomething of interest will be done or a very powerful scene dealing with the emotions of one or more of the characters will be written is both useless and exasperating.
Sometimes a very effective climax at a given point should be postponed because it will be even more effective later, and if given the first position would check preferable movement in the play.
It is easy, also, to miss possible climax by using more at a given point than is absolutely necessary.
In argument it is a time-honored principle that it is far better not to pile up all the evidence you can on a given point, but by selecting your best argument, or two or three of the better type, to strike hard with the selected material.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "given point" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
