Segment Bisectors and Midpoints

What is the primary focus of this lesson?

• Using a rectangular coordinate system

• Constructing a coordinate plane

• Drawing geometric shapes

• Calculating segment lengths

What is a midpoint of a segment?

• A point that extends a segment indefinitely.

• A point that divides a segment into two congruent segments.

• A point that connects two different segments.

• A point that is always at the origin of a coordinate plane.

What is a segment bisector?

• A line, line segment, or ray that divides a line segment into two line segments of equal length.

• A tool used to measure angles.

• A point that marks the end of a line.

• A curve that intersects a line segment.

Which side of the patty paper should be used for drawing with a pencil?

• The shiny side

• The slippery side

• The non-shiny side

• Either side, it doesn't matter

What tools are used to construct a midpoint and a segment bisector?

• Compass and ruler

• Protractor and pencil

• Patty paper, straight edge, and pencil

• Graph paper and calculator

What is a straight edge?

• A ruler with numbers

• A tool used for drawing curved lines

• A ruler without numbers

• A device for measuring angles

What is the crucial step after drawing a line segment on patty paper to find its segment bisector and midpoint?

• Cut the paper in half.

• Fold the paper so the endpoints of the line segment lie on top of each other.

• Draw another line segment parallel to the first one.

• Measure the length of the segment with a ruler.

What does the crease represent after unfolding the patty paper?

• The original line segment

• The midpoint of the segment

• The segment bisector

• A random fold
