The problem is meaningless without a diagram but I am guessing that ABC make a triangle and D is on the extension of AB beyond B. In that case we use the exterior angle theorem to get CBD = C + A, so 125 = 90 + A and A = 35.

What is the measure of the angle between a perpendicular bisector and the segment it is bisecting?
90 degrees
What does a perpendicular bisector do?
A perpendicular bisector [for a given line segment] is a line that meets it at 90 degrees and divides it into two halves.
Is a segment a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the suidee opposite that vertex.?
No, a segment is not necessarily perpendicular. A segment is simply a straight line connecting two points. A perpendicular segment would be a segment that forms a right angle with another segment or line.
What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector
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.
If a line is a perpendicular bisector to a line segment what angle do they intersect at?
90 degrees
What is the measure of the angle between a perpendicular bisector and the segment it is bisecting?
90 degrees

What is a line segment or ray that intersects the midpoint of a line segment at a 90 degrees angle?
Such a line is called a perpendicular bisector.
What of a segment is a line segment or ray that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint?
Perpendicular Bisector
What must be true about a perpendicular bisector and the segment it bisects?
It bisects the line segment at midpoint at 90 degrees and its slope is the reciprocal of the line segment's slope plus or minus.
What is a line perpendicular to a segment at the segment's midpoint?
It's called a perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
Is a segment a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the suidee opposite that vertex.?
No, a segment is not necessarily perpendicular. A segment is simply a straight line connecting two points. A perpendicular segment would be a segment that forms a right angle with another segment or line.
What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector

Is perpendicular a segment?
no
What is a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
