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.
What is a line perpendicular to a line segmentt and passing through its midpoint?
There is no name for it except "A line perpendicular to a line segment and passing through its midpoint".
What of a triangle is a segment drawn through the midpoint of a side forming a right angle?
It is the perpendicular bisector
What is the different between a perpendicular bisector and a midpoint?
A midpoint is a point. It's the point exactly halfway between the endsof a line segment.A perpendicular bisector is a line. It's the line that passes through themidpoint of the segment, and is perpendicular to the segment.
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).
What is the line that goes through the midpoint of a segment?
segment bisector
What is a line ray or segment that passes through the midpoint of another segment?
A segment bisector

What are perpendicular bisectors?
A line that is perpendicular to the segment of a plane and passes through the midpoint.
What is a line segments or ray that passes through the midpoint of a side and is perpendicular to the side?
A perpendicular bisector.
To find the midpoint of a segment fold the paper so that the two endpoints of the sement match up?
If you fold the line segment in half so that the two ends are touching and then crease the paper, the crease will go right through the midpoint of the line segment.
What of a triangle is a segment drawn through the midpoint of a side forming a right angle?
It is the perpendicular bisector
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 the different between a perpendicular bisector and a midpoint?
A midpoint is a point. It's the point exactly halfway between the endsof a line segment.A perpendicular bisector is a line. It's the line that passes through themidpoint of the segment, and is perpendicular to the segment.
