Can a segment bisect a line?
No. Since a line is infinite, it has no mid-point. A bisector must go through a midpoint so nothing can bisect a line (not even a segment).
Is a midpoint bisect a segment?
If your question was: Does a midpoint bisect a segment? Then yes it does... It divides it in half.
Why bisect a line segment?
To find its mid point. Which then raises the question why find its midpoint and I cannot answer that.
Do rectangle diagonals cross at their midpoint?
Yes they bisect each other at their midpoint
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.

In parallelogram the diagonals have the same midpoint?
Yes the diagonals of a parallelogram have the same midpoint since they bisect each other.
What is a bisection point?
it is the point where something is "cut in half." So if we bisect a line, we cut it in half and the midpoint is the bisection point. That is just one example
How do you find a point which is equidistant from a given pair of points?
Bisect two arcs above and below the given points or line and the perpendicular of these arcs cuts through the midpoint.
What is a segment bisect?
Bisect a segment is to divide the line segment into 2
How do you find midpoint of a segment?
Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.
To find the midpoint of a segment first mark a point not on the segment then fold the paper so that the point you marked and a point on the line are included in the fold true or false?
False that is to find the perpendicular bisect.
How do you find the midpoint of a line?
The midpoint of a line can be found easily by using the midpoint formula. Find the length of the line and simply divide it in two.
