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.
