Special Segments 5-1 to 5-3 (Use this one)

Front

What is the measure of angle JKM if it is given as 38 degrees?

Back

m< JKM = 38 degrees.

Front

What is an angle bisector?

Back

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

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

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

Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

A median is a segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is an altitude in a triangle?

Back

An altitude is a segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side, forming a right angle.

Front

Identify the segment that represents a median: BX, AZ, AC, BZ.

Back

BZ represents a median.

Front

Identify the segment that represents an altitude: BX, AZ, AC, BZ.

Back

BX represents an altitude.

Front

What is the relationship between an angle bisector and the angles it divides?

Back

An angle bisector divides the angle into two equal angles.

Front

How do you find the length of a segment that is a median?

Back

To find the length of a median, use the formula: median = (2a + 2b - c) / 3, where a and b are the lengths of the sides adjacent to the median, and c is the length of the opposite side.

Front

What is the significance of a perpendicular bisector in geometry?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is significant because it helps in finding the midpoint of a segment and is used in constructing right angles.
