GM-U5.1a Lesson: Perpendicular Bisectors of Triangles

Unit 5 Lesson 1:
Perpendicular Bisectors of Triangles

​Objective:

We are going to use triangle and angle properties created by the perpendicular bisectors of triangles to solve problems.

A line segment divided into two smaller, congruent segments.
