What else can I help you with?
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 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".
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.
Does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle always passes through the opposite vertex?
No, the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle does not necessarily pass through the opposite vertex. The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint, and it may intersect the interior or exterior of the triangle, depending on its shape. In fact, the only time a perpendicular bisector passes through the opposite vertex is in the case of an isosceles triangle, where the two sides are equal, and their perpendicular bisectors coincide with the altitude.
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.

What are perpendicular bisectors?
A line that is perpendicular to the segment of a plane and passes through the midpoint.
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 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 area of a triangle does a perpendicular bisector split?
a line that intersects an edge of a triangle that is perpendicular to it and passes through the midpoint

What is the difference between a median and the altitude of a triangle?
A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Altitude of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side or an extension of the opposite side.
What passes through a triangle through the midpoint of side ofa triangle and is perpendicular to that side of the triangle?
Those would be perpendicular bisectors. If you do that to each side of the triangle they all meet at what is called the circumcenter. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Circumcircle.html
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.
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.
