What is the difference between and angle bisector and a perpendicular bisector?
An angle bisector bisects an angle. A perpendicular bisector bisects a side.
How does the perpendicular bisector affect the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle?
The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.
What do you need to do to prove a line is an angle bisector of an angle?
Draw a perpendicular to that line and extend the arms of the angle to meed the perpendicular drawn earlier. Check if the line is bisecting the perpendicular, if yes, then the line is a bisector of the angle. :)
How are perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors the same?
In general, they are not. In an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular bisector of the base is the same as the bisector of the angle opposite the base. But the other two perp bisectors are not the same as the angle bisectors. Only in an equilateral triangle is each perp bisector the same as the angle bisector of the angle opposite.
Could the median of a triangle be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes in equilateral triangle.
What are the difference between perpendicular lines and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular bisector goes through the median of the line while a perpendicular line can be anywhere on the line as long as it is at a 90 degree angle.
What is the difference between and angle bisector and a perpendicular bisector?
An angle bisector bisects an angle. A perpendicular bisector bisects a side.
If a point is equidistant from the two sides of an angle then it is?
on the perpendicular bisector
What is the difference between a perpendicular bisector and a angle bisector?
A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a given line segment into halves, and is perpendicular to the line segment. An angle bisector is a line that bisects a given angle.
How does the perpendicular bisector affect the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle?
The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.
Can the angle bisector of a triangle also be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.
What are the similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector?
Similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector: Perpendicular bisector bisects a line segment into two equal parts at 90°. Angle bisector bisects an creating two congruent angles they both bisect into equal parts! =)
Is it possible for a segment to be a perpendicular bisector angle bisector median and altitude of a triangle?
Yes. If you have an isosceles triangle standing up on the unequal side, thenthe line segment from the top vertex perpendicular to the base is all of these.
What does a perpendicular bisector look like?
A perpendicular bisector has a right angle or 90 degrees
Is the angle bisector also the median in an equilateral triangle?
No. The angle bisector is a line. Where the three lines meet is the median. In an equilateral triangle the INTERSECTION of the angle bisectors is the median.
How is constructing a perpendicular bisector different to constructing an angle bisector?
A perpendicular bisector is a straight line that divides a side of a triangle in two and is at right angles to that side. An angle bisector is a straight line that divides an angle of a triangle in two.
The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle?
the centroid. here are all the points of concurrency: perpendicular bisector- circumcenter altitudes- orthocenter angle bisector- incenter median- centroid hope that was helpful :)
