Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a line segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

Define angle bisector.

Back

An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

What is the relationship between a point on the perpendicular bisector and the endpoints of the segment?

Back

Any point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

Front

If two angles are congruent, what can be said about their measures?

Back

If two angles are congruent, their measures are equal.

Front

What is the measure of an angle if it is bisected and the resulting angles are 38 degrees each?

Back

The measure of the original angle is 76 degrees.

Front

How do you find the length of a segment if you know the coordinates of its endpoints?

Back

Front

What is the significance of the term 'equidistant' in geometry?

Back

Equidistant means being the same distance from two or more points or figures.

Front

If a point is 8 units away from two parallel lines, what can be said about its distance to each line?

Back

The point is equidistant from both lines, being 8 units from each.

Front

What is the measure of angle JKM if it is given that m< JKM = 38 degrees?

Back

The measure of angle JKM is 38 degrees.
