Perpendicular Bisector

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 the relationship between a point on a perpendicular bisector and the endpoints of the segment?

Back

Any point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

Front

If segment AB is bisected at point C, what can be said about AC and CB?

Back

AC = CB, meaning the two segments are equal in length.

Front

What is the significance of the midpoint in a segment?

Back

The midpoint is the point that divides the segment into two equal lengths.

Front

How do you determine if a line is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A line is a perpendicular bisector if it intersects a segment at its midpoint and forms right angles with the segment.

Front

What is the formula for finding the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

If segment TP measures 7 units, what is the length of half of segment TP?

Back

Half of segment TP is 3.5 units.

Front

What is the measure of segment DC if it is given as 4 units?

Back

Segment DC measures 4 units.

Front

If OP is determined to be 36 units, what is the significance of this measurement?

Back

It indicates the length of segment OP in the context of the problem.
