What is a line segments or ray that passes through the midpoint of a side and is perpendicular to the side?
A perpendicular bisector.
A secant is a line or segment that passes through a circle in one and only one place?
It would be False because a secant is a line or segment that passes through a circle in two places.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and bisects the opposite that vertex?
side
An altitude of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex of the triangle and is?
and is perpendicular to the opposite side.
A line segment that extends from one edge of a circle to the other and passes through its center is also its?
It is diameter.
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.
What are perpendicular bisectors?
A line that is perpendicular to the segment of a plane and passes through the midpoint.
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.
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the side opposite that vertex?
A median of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. The median only bisects the vertex angle from which it is drawn when it is an isosceles triangle.
What do you call a segment that passes through the center of a circle?
The major segment.
What is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle?
A diameter is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.
What is a line segment that passes through the center of a line segment?
this is called a vertices.
What is a segment that passes through of vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side?
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
A line passing through the midpoint of a chord always sometimes or never passes through the center of the circle?
the answer is always
What is a line segments or ray that passes through the midpoint of a side and is perpendicular to the side?
A perpendicular bisector.
What is a line segment that passes through the center?
A radius or a diameter.
A segment that passes through a circle in two points?
It is a chord.
