6.1 Exit Ticket - Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors

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 an angle bisector?

Back

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

Front

If RT bisects SU, what can we say about the lengths of ST and TU?

Back

ST = TU, meaning the two segments are equal in length.

Front

How do you find the measure of an angle when given its bisector?

Back

To find the measure of an angle when given its bisector, divide the measure of the angle by 2.

Front

What is the relationship between angles formed by perpendicular lines?

Back

The angles formed by perpendicular lines are complementary, meaning they add up to 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

What is the formula for finding the length of a segment when given the midpoint?

Back

If M is the midpoint of segment AB, then AM = MB.

Front

How do you solve for x in an equation involving angle bisectors?

Back

Set the two angles equal to each other and solve for x.

Front

What is the significance of the midpoint in geometry?

Back

The midpoint divides a segment into two equal parts, which is essential for constructing perpendicular bisectors.

Front

If angle A measures 40 degrees, what is the measure of each angle formed by its bisector?

Back

Each angle measures 20 degrees.
