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
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]
