What is a segment bisect?
Bisect a segment is to divide the line segment into 2
Can a line perpendicular to a segment also bisect the segment?
Sure. There's even a special name for that line. It's called the "perpendicular bisector" of the segment.
Must a bisector of a segment always be a perpendicular line?
Not always because the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other but they are not perpendicular to each other.
Why does a line segment have one midpoint and can have many bisectors?
A bisector is a line (or line segment) which passes through the midpoint. You can have multiple lines intersect at this one point, and all of them will bisect the original line segment, since they pass through its midpoint. A perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint, and also is perpendicular to the original line segment, so there will be only one of those.
The shortest segment from a point to a line?
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.
Is it possible to bisect a segment with a perpendicular segment?
Yes. it is possible to bisect a segment with a perpendicular segment. Follow the link to learn how to do it: http://www.mathopenref.com/constbisectline.html
Is a line segment character of a perpendicular bisect?
Yes, it is.
What is a segment bisect?
Bisect a segment is to divide the line segment into 2
To find the midpoint of a segment first mark a point not on the segment then fold the paper so that the point you marked and a point on the line are included in the fold true or false?
False that is to find the perpendicular bisect.
Can a line perpendicular to a segment also bisect the segment?
Sure. There's even a special name for that line. It's called the "perpendicular bisector" of the segment.
Can a point bisect a segment?
Yes.
Can a segment bisect bisect a segment?
No
Must a bisector of a segment always be a perpendicular line?
Not always because the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other but they are not perpendicular to each other.
State the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and its converse as a biconditional?
Biconditional Statement for: Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point is equidistant if and only if the point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment. Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment if and only if the point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment.
Why does a line segment have one midpoint and can have many bisectors?
A bisector is a line (or line segment) which passes through the midpoint. You can have multiple lines intersect at this one point, and all of them will bisect the original line segment, since they pass through its midpoint. A perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint, and also is perpendicular to the original line segment, so there will be only one of those.
If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment then it is on?
on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
If a point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is?
Equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
