FLASHCARD QUESTION
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.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Define 'perpendicular bisector'.
Back
A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If point P is on the perpendicular bisector of segment AB, what can be said about the distances PA and PB?
Back
PA = PB; point P is equidistant from points A and B.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the midpoint of a segment?
Back
To find the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula: Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines?
Back
The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If line segment AB has endpoints A(2, 3) and B(6, 7), what is the length of AB?
Back
Length of AB = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²) = √((6 - 2)² + (7 - 3)²) = √(16 + 16) = √32 = 4√2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem in triangle construction?
Back
It helps in constructing the circumcenter of a triangle, which is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides intersect.
