HWU4L5 Perpendicular and Angle Bisector Theorem

Front

What does it mean for a point to be equidistant from two figures?

Back

A point is equidistant from two figures if it is the same distance from both figures.

Front

What is the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem?

Back

The Perpendicular Bisector Theorem states that if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

Front

Define the term 'angle bisector'.

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between the angles formed by perpendicular lines?

Back

When two lines are perpendicular, they form four right angles (each measuring 90 degrees).

Front

If two angles are complementary, what is the sum of their measures?

Back

The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90 degrees.

Front

How do you find the length of a segment using the distance formula?

Back

Front

What is the significance of the point where the angle bisector intersects the opposite side of a triangle?

Back

This point is called the 'incenter' and it is equidistant from all sides of the triangle.

Front

How do you determine if a line segment is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A line segment is a perpendicular bisector if it divides another segment into two equal parts and forms right angles with it.

Front

What is the formula for finding the midpoint of a segment?

Back

Front

If two lines intersect, what can be said about the angles formed?

Back

The angles formed by two intersecting lines are vertical angles, which are equal, and adjacent angles, which are supplementary.
