- Set a compass to draw a circle with a radius that's more than half the length of the line segment but less than the whole length.
- Put the compass point at one end of the segment and draw an arc above the middle of the segment and another below the middle of the segment.
- Put the compass point at the other end of the segment and again draw arcs above and below the middle of the segment, intersecting the first two arcs.
- Draw a line connecting the point where the two arcs intersect above the segment and the point where they intersect below the segment.
That's your perpendicular bisector.

What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector
what is true about the creased bisector and the line segment that is bisected?
The bisector and the line segment are perpendicular to each other.
What is the converse of the perpendicular bisector theorem?
Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem - if a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.Example: If DA = DB, then point D lies on the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB.you :))
What does a perpendicular bisector do?
A perpendicular bisector [for a given line segment] is a line that meets it at 90 degrees and divides it into two halves.
What is a segment or line that intersects the midpoint of a segment and is pepindicular to that segment called?
perpendicular bisector
What is the difference between a perpendicular bisector and a angle bisector?
A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a given line segment into halves, and is perpendicular to the line segment. An angle bisector is a line that bisects a given angle.
What is a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
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 of a segment is a line segment or ray that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint?
Perpendicular Bisector
what is true about the creased bisector and the line segment that is bisected?
The bisector and the line segment are perpendicular to each other.
What is the converse of the perpendicular bisector theorem?

What is the difference between a perpendicular line and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
What does a perpendicular bisector do?
A perpendicular bisector [for a given line segment] is a line that meets it at 90 degrees and divides it into two halves.
Does a line segment bisector always be perpendicular to the original irie?
Not sure what an "irie" is. But a bisector does not need to be perpendicular.
What is right bisector in math?
A right bisector of a line segment, is better know as a perpendicular bisector. It is a line that divides the original line in half and is perpendicular to it (makes a right angle).
What is a segment or line that intersects the midpoint of a segment and is pepindicular to that segment called?
perpendicular bisector
