If you are talking aout triangles, then it would happen only in case of equilateral and isosceles triangles.whereas it is not so in scalene triangles.

hope you understand. If not then try once by drawing it on a paper and try it on your ownand find out................

In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertex of two?

equilateral triangles


How does the perpendicular bisector affect the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle?

The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.


Does perpendicular bisector has a vertex as an endpoint?

No


What is a segment that passes through of vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side?

The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.


Is a perpendicular bisector always an angle bisector?

thank goodness for my math teacher, norm! he said only in an isosceles triangle. The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base! =)


Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?

True


Can the angle bisector of a triangle also be the perpendicular bisector?

Yes. The bisector of one angle of a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of theopposite side if the bisected angle is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle,or any angle of an equilateral triangle.


How do you write an equilateral triangle line of symmetry?

A line joining any vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Because of the properties of an equilateral triangle, this line may be described as the median, the perpendicular bisector of a side or an angle bisector.


An altitude of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex of the triangle and is?

and is perpendicular to the opposite side.


Why did the bisector of altitude passes through a vertex?

Is the altitude of an isosceles triangle the angle bisector of the vertex?

Yes, provided that the base is not one of the 2 equal sides. And it's also the perpendicular bisector of the base.


Is it possible for a segment to be a perpendicular bisector angle bisector median and altitude of a triangle?

Yes. If you have an isosceles triangle standing up on the unequal side, thenthe line segment from the top vertex perpendicular to the base is all of these.
