What does a perpendicular bisector look like?
A perpendicular bisector has a right angle or 90 degrees
Which of these can not form a perpendicular bisector?
Perpendicular bisector lines intersect at right angles
If a circle with its centre at the origin has a chord with slope m the equation of the right bisector of the chord is y equals mx is this statement true or false?
False. 1). The proposed equation y=mx suggests that the chord's right bisector has no y-intercept, i.e. passes through the origin. This is interesting, and appears plausible, and I'm willing to acknowledge that this aspect of it is true. But ... 2). If the slope of the chord is 'm', then the slope of its right bisector is not also 'm'. If it were, that would make the chord and its bisector parallel, which would be pretty silly. The slope of any line perpendicular to the chord, including its right bisector, has to be '-1/m'. The equation of the chord's right bisector is: Y = -X/m .
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.
Can a right triangle form a perpendicular bisector?
Yes because 2 of its 3 sides meet at right angles
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 look like?
A perpendicular bisector has a right angle or 90 degrees
Which of these can not form a perpendicular bisector?
Perpendicular bisector lines intersect at right angles
Do a bisector of an angle divides the angle into right angles?
A bisector divides an angle into two equal parts. Therefore, if the bisector begins on the middle of a straight line (180 degrees) then the bisector must form a right-angle with the straight line.
How is constructing a perpendicular bisector different to constructing an angle bisector?
A perpendicular bisector is a straight line that divides a side of a triangle in two and is at right angles to that side. An angle bisector is a straight line that divides an angle of a triangle in two.
What is the perpendicular bisector of a side?
A bisector is a line that divides another into two halves. If the second line is at right angles to the first, it is perperdicular. So, a perpendicular bisector of a side is a line which is at right angles to the side and which divides the side into two halves.
How do you draw a perpendicular bisector of an angle?
The right way
What bisects an angle and forms right angles?
perpendicular bisector
What do you call the intersection point of perpendicular bisector?
A right angle

What is the angle between the angle bisector of a linear pir?
A right angle.
