Can you bisect a segment with a perpendicular segment?
Yes, you can bisect a segment with a perpendicular segment. To do this, draw a perpendicular line from the midpoint of the segment to create two equal halves. This perpendicular segment intersects the original segment at its midpoint, effectively dividing it into two equal parts.
What is a segment bisect?
Bisect a segment is to divide the line segment into 2
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.
Must a bisector of a segment always be a perpendicular line?
Not always because the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other but they are not perpendicular to each other.
What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector
Is a line segment character of a perpendicular bisect?
Yes, it is.

How can you use perpendicular and angle bisectors to form a 45 degree angle?
You draw a perpendicular at the end of a line segment. You then bisect the right angle formed between the original line and the perpendicular. The resulting angle will be 45 degrees.
What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector
What is a line perpendicular to a segment at the segment's midpoint?
It's called a perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
What are the steps for finding the perpendicular bisect of a line segment?
To find the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, first, determine the midpoint of the segment by averaging the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the endpoints. Next, calculate the slope of the line segment and find the negative reciprocal of that slope to get the slope of the perpendicular bisector. Then, use the midpoint and the new slope to write the equation of the perpendicular bisector in point-slope form. Finally, you can convert it to slope-intercept form if needed.
Why is it impossible to bisect a line?
No its not.Take a look herehttp://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_divide_a_line_into_3_equal_parts. Also you can use the perpendicular bisector method to bisect a line. [Only if you're trying to bisect it into two equal parts]
Can a line bisect a segment?
Yes or 'True' ~
To bisect is to cut?
To bisect anything is to cut it in half. So if one line segment bisects another line segment, then the second segment is divided into two equal lengths.
