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! =)

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.


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

The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.


Which types of triangles must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?

iscoceles triangle! =)


What triangle must always have at least one angle bisector that is also a perpendicular bisector?

any isosceles triangle


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.


Can a median be an angle bisector and not a perpendicular bisector?

Yes.


What are the similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector?

Similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector: Perpendicular bisector bisects a line segment into two equal parts at 90°. Angle bisector bisects an creating two congruent angles they both bisect into equal parts! =)


What does a perpendicular bisector look like?

A perpendicular bisector has a right angle or 90 degrees


A perpendicular bisector crosses a line segment. which type of angle does it form with the segment?

A perpendicular bisector intersects a line segment at a right angle, forming two 90-degree angles with the segment. This means that the angle between the bisector and the line segment is always a right angle, indicating that the bisector divides the segment into two equal parts.


Is a circle can not form a perpendicular bisector?

A circle itself does not form a perpendicular bisector because a perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a right angle, typically associated with straight segments. However, the concept of a perpendicular bisector can be applied to chords within a circle. The perpendicular bisector of a chord will always pass through the center of the circle.
