In a triangle what is the line segment drawn from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side (or an extension of the opposite side?

• Median of a Triangle

• Altitude of a Triangle

• Perpendicular Bisector of a side of a Triangle

• Angle Bisector

• Midpoint of a Line Segment

What is a line segment or ray drawn from a vertex that divides the angle into two congruent angles?

• Median of a Triangle

• Altitude of a Triangle

• Perpendicular Bisector of a side of a Triangle

• Angle Bisector

• Midpoint of a Line Segment

In the given proof, what is the reason for step 1?

• Angles that form a linear pair are supplementary.

• Angles of Equal Measure are Congruent

• Reflexive Property of Congruence

• Definition of a Perpendicular Bisector

If line m is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB, find the value of x.

• x = 8

• x = - 8

• x = 16

• x = - 16

If CB is a perpendicular bisector, find the value of x.

• 12

• 11.5

• 23

• 6

Angle JHG measures 161.

• m∠GHK=80.5,

  m∠KHJ=161

• m∠GHK=161,

  m∠KHJ=80.5

• m∠GHK=80.5,

  m∠KHJ=80.5

• m∠GHK=161,

  m∠KHJ=161

If ZT is a perpendicular bisector, what conclusions can be made?

Answer explanation

If ZT is a perpendicular bisector, then XT is perpendicular to ZT and XT is congruent to YT.
