Bisector
The line that divides a segment into two congruent segments is called the perpendicular bisector. This line intersects the segment at its midpoint and forms right angles with the segment, ensuring that the two resulting segments are equal in length.
A segment is divided into two congruent segments by its midpoint. The midpoint is the point that is equidistant from both endpoints of the segment, effectively splitting it into two equal lengths. This division ensures that the two resulting segments are congruent, meaning they have the same measure.
No, it is not true that a segment's bisector will always be congruent to the segment itself. A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides the original segment into two equal parts, but the bisector itself does not have to be equal in length to the original segment. For example, if you have a segment of length 10 units, its bisector will simply divide it into two segments of 5 units each, but the bisector itself can be of any length and orientation.
vertical line segment
If line BE is the bisector of segment AC, it means that BE divides AC into two equal segments. Therefore, if AB is 7, then AC must be twice that length, making AC equal to 14.
A point that divides a segment into two segments of equal length is a midpoint.
