If Point p is on line m then how many plane are perpendicular to line m and also passes through point p?
1
What is the shortest segment from a point to line?
A line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point.
What are perpendicular bisectors?
A line that is perpendicular to the segment of a plane and passes through the midpoint.
What area of a triangle does a perpendicular bisector split?
a line that intersects an edge of a triangle that is perpendicular to it and passes through the midpoint
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 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 passes through a triangle through the midpoint of side ofa triangle and is perpendicular to that side of the triangle?
Those would be perpendicular bisectors. If you do that to each side of the triangle they all meet at what is called the circumcenter. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Circumcircle.html
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 segment bisector
What are two lines that are perpendicular that passes through point?
Perpendicular lines passing through a point are at right angles to each other.
A line passing through the midpoint of a chord always sometimes or never passes through the center of the circle?
the answer is always
In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertices of two?
Equilateral triangles
In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertex of two?

What is a characteristic of a perpendicular bisector?
Given a straight line joining the points A and B, the perpendicular bisector is a straight line that passes through the mid-point of AB and is perpendicular to AB.
