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?

What is the measure of an angle if it is bisected?

Back

The measure of each angle formed by the bisector is half of the original angle.

If a triangle has angles measuring 30°, 60°, and 90°, what is the relationship between the angles?

Back

The angles are complementary, and the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°.

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (Pythagorean theorem).
