Exploring Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors in Geometry

This video tutorial covers geometry lesson 5.1, focusing on perpendicular and angle bisectors. It explains the perpendicular bisector theorem, which states that a point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from the segment's endpoints. The converse theorem is also discussed. The angle bisector theorem is introduced, explaining that a point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle. The video includes examples and problem-solving exercises to apply these theorems, concluding with a summary of key concepts.

What does it mean when two lines are perpendicular?

• They form an acute angle.

• They are parallel.

• They form an obtuse angle.

• They form a right angle.

What does the term 'bisector' imply?

• It divides a line segment into three equal parts.

• It divides a line segment into unequal parts.

• It divides an angle into two equal parts.

• It divides an angle into three equal parts.

According to the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, it is:

• Equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

• Closer to one endpoint than the other.

• At the midpoint of the segment.

• Not related to the endpoints.

What is the converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem?

• If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, it is at the midpoint.

• If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, it is closer to one endpoint.

• If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, it lies on the angle bisector.

• If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, it lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.

If AB is congruent to AD and AB = 6x - 10 and AD = 3x + 2, what is the value of x?

• 5

• 4

• 3

• 2

What does the Angle Bisector Theorem state?

• If a point is on the bisector of an angle, it is equidistant from the sides of the angle.

• If a point is on the bisector of an angle, it is closer to one side.

• If a point is on the bisector of an angle, it is at the vertex of the angle.

• If a point is on the bisector of an angle, it is at the midpoint of the angle.

According to the converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem, if two sides of an angle are equal, then:

• The angles are congruent.

• The angle is right.

• The angle is acute.

• The angle is obtuse.

If HI = 7 and IJ = 7, and angle HGI = 25 degrees, what is the measure of angle IGJ?

• 75 degrees

• 100 degrees

• 50 degrees

• 25 degrees

If angle HGJ = 57 degrees and angle IGJ = 28.5 degrees, what is the value of IJ if HI = 12.2?

• 12.2 units

• 28.5 units

• 24.4 units

• 6.1 units

What is the relationship between the sides and angles in the Angle Bisector Theorem?

• Sides and angles are unrelated.

• Sides are equal, angles are equal.

• Sides are unequal, angles are equal.

• Sides are equal, angles are unequal.
