What is the Perpedicular Bisector Theorem and it's Converse - Congruent Triangles

What is a key characteristic of a perpendicular bisector?

• It divides a segment into three equal parts.

• It intersects a segment at a 45-degree angle.

• It does not intersect the segment.

• It creates a right angle with the segment.

According to the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, what is true about a point on the bisector?

• It is closer to one endpoint than the other.

• It is equidistant from the segment's endpoints.

• It is always at the midpoint of the segment.

• It is not related to the segment's endpoints.

How can you visually indicate that two line segments are equal in geometry?

• By writing their lengths.

• By shading them.

• By drawing tick marks on them.

• By using different colors.

What does the converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem state?

• A bisector is always perpendicular.

• A bisector is never perpendicular.

• A bisector divides a segment into three parts.

• A point equidistant from the endpoints lies on the bisector.

What must be true about a triangle to use the Pythagorean Theorem?

• It must be a scalene triangle.

• It must be an isosceles triangle.

• It must be a right triangle.

• It must be an equilateral triangle.

In a right triangle, what is the longest side called?

• The median

• The hypotenuse

• The height

• The base

If a triangle has sides of 5 and 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem?
