Introduction to Perpendicular Bisectors

Geometry Section 5.3

Concurrent Lines, Perpendicular Bisectors and Angle Bisectors

Multiple Choice

What is the property of a point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment.

• It is equidistant from the sides of the angle.

• It is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment

• It is equally distant from the sides of the triangle

• It is what it is.

Multiple Choice

What is the property of a point on the angle bisector of an angle.

• It is equidistant from the sides of the angle.

• It is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment

• It is equally distant from the vertices of the triangle

• It is what it is.

Multiple Choice

14. Which line is a perpendicular bisector?

• XY
• BY
• AZ
• XC

​Concurrent Lines

• ​Three or more lines that intersect at exactly one point.

• ​

• ​Point of concurrency - the point of intersection of three or more lines.

Multiple Choice

What is this line an example of?

• perpendicular bisector

• angle bisector

• median

• altitude

​What is a CIRCUMCENTER?

The point of concurrency created by the 3 perpendicular bisectors.

​

​Notice: Each vertex of the triangle is EQUIDISTANT from the circumcenter.

​

Why is that?! They are the RADIUS of the outside circle!
