A perpendicular segment refers to a line that cuts another at right angle (90 deg).
A perpendicular bisector refers to a line that cuts another at right angle while splitting the two sides equally. In short, it is just a 90 degree line in the midpoint (exact centre) of the other line

What is the difference between and angle bisector and a perpendicular bisector?
An angle bisector bisects an angle. A perpendicular bisector bisects a side.
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 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.
How do you write the converse of perpendicular bisector theorem easier to understand?
The converse of perpendicular bisector theorem states that if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
What is the measure of the angle between a perpendicular bisector and the segment it is bisecting?
90 degrees
