Segment Bisectors Flashcard

Front

What is a segment bisector?

Back

A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides a segment into two equal parts.

Front

If M is the midpoint of segment JK, what is the relationship between JM and MK?

Back

JM = MK; both segments are equal in length.

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

Back

Front

What is the formula for finding the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Front

If segment RM = 9, what is the length of segment MS if M is the midpoint?

Back

MS = 9; since M is the midpoint, RM = MS.

Front

What is the length of segment RS if segment RM = 9 and segment MS = 17?

Back

RS = RM + MS = 9 + 17 = 26.

Front

If the total length of segment JK is 64 and M is the midpoint, what is the length of segment JM?

Back

JM = 32; since M is the midpoint, JM = JK/2.

Front

What is the relationship between the lengths of segments created by a bisector?

Back

The lengths of the segments created by a bisector are equal.

Front

If segment RS = 44, what is the length of segment SR?

Back

SR = 44; segments RS and SR are equal in length.

Front

How do you determine the value of r if M is the midpoint of JK and JK = 64?

Back

r = 32; since M is the midpoint, r = JK/2.
