A perpendicular segment with one endpoint at a vertex and the other endpoint on the side opposite that vertex?
Altitude: The altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment that connects a vertex and its opposite side. Let's construct the altitude of a triangle using a new triangle.
Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?
True
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.
If a point is equidistant from the two sides of an angle then it is?
on the perpendicular bisector
What is not a characteristic of of a perpendicular bisector?
is parallel-apex
How does the perpendicular bisector affect the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle?
The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.
Can perpendicular bisectors have a vertex as an endpoint?
When one draws an isosceles triangle and cast a line straight down from the top, It will result to a perpendicular bisector of the bottom leg. This will only work with an isosceles triangle.
In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertex of two?
equilateral triangles
A perpendicular segment with one endpoint at a vertex and the other endpoint on the side opposite that vertex?
Altitude: The altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment that connects a vertex and its opposite side. Let's construct the altitude of a triangle using a new triangle.
Is a perpendicular bisector always an angle bisector?
thank goodness for my math teacher, norm! he said only in an isosceles triangle. The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base! =)
Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?
True
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.
Is the altitude of an isosceles triangle the angle bisector of the vertex?
Yes, provided that the base is not one of the 2 equal sides. And it's also the perpendicular bisector of the base.
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 is the difference between and angle bisector and a perpendicular bisector?
An angle bisector bisects an angle. A perpendicular bisector bisects a side.
What can not form a perpendicular bisector?
A circle cannot form a perpendicular bisector.
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.
