A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.

What is not a characteristic of of a perpendicular bisector?
is parallel-apex
How is constructing a perpendicular bisector similar to constructing an angle bisector?
No. Well... kind of because they are both bisections. The difference is that the angle bisector splits an angle in half, while a perpendicular bisector creates a right angle from a horizontal line. They both "split" something in half.
What is a line perpendicular to a segment at the segment's midpoint?
It's called a perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
What is a right bisector?
A right bisector is a line that cuts another line at midpoint at 90 degrees. It is more often called a perpendicular bisector.
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular line on rectangle?
The difference between a perpendicular line and a parallel line is that a perpendicular line crosses or joins, while a parallel line doesn't touch at all.
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.
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.
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! =)
What is the different between a perpendicular bisector and a midpoint?
A midpoint is a point. It's the point exactly halfway between the endsof a line segment.A perpendicular bisector is a line. It's the line that passes through themidpoint of the segment, and is perpendicular to the segment.
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.
What is the difference between perpendicular segment and perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular segment refers to a line that cuts another at right angle (90 deg). A perpendicular bisector refers to a line that cuts another at right angle while splitting the two sides equally. In short, it is just a 90 degree line in the midpoint (exact centre) of the other line
What is not a characteristic of of a perpendicular bisector?
is parallel-apex
How many acute triangles are in a perpendicular bisector?
A "perpendicular bisector" is a line. There are no triangles of any kind in a line.
Is a perpendicular bisector a type of concurrent line?
A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through another line at 90 degrees
What is right bisector in math?
A right bisector of a line segment, is better know as a perpendicular bisector. It is a line that divides the original line in half and is perpendicular to it (makes a right angle).
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.
