Exploring Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors in Geometry

The video tutorial covers Chapter 6-1 on perpendicular and angle bisectors. It begins with an introduction to the concepts, followed by a detailed explanation of the properties of perpendicular bisectors, including creating right angles and equal segments. The tutorial then explores angle bisectors and congruence of angles, using examples to illustrate these concepts. Finally, it demonstrates how to find the equation of a perpendicular bisector using given coordinates, midpoint formula, and slope calculations.
