What else can I help you with?
Is a perpendicular bisector always an angle bisector?
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! =)
How is constructing a perpendicular bisector different to constructing an angle bisector?
A perpendicular bisector is a straight line that divides a side of a triangle in two and is at right angles to that side. An angle bisector is a straight line that divides an angle of a triangle in two.
If orthocentre and circumcentre of a triangle coincide then is it an equilateral triangle?
Yes. The orthocenter is the intersection of the altitudes; the circumcenter is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle. The perpendicular bisector of and altitude to a given side are parallel, so they can coincide at the common center only if they are the same; that means that the opposite vertex is on the perpendicular bisector, so the other two sides are equal. Thus each pair of sides are equal, so the triangle is equilateral.
what- a corner table is in the shape of a triangle?
converse of the perpendicular bisector theorem
Is it true that the perpendicular bisector of the base of an isosceles triangle splits the triangle into two congruent triangles?
Yes, it is true.
Is the altitude of a triangle always the perpendicular bisector?
No.
Can an altitude be a perpendicular bisector?
Yes - the altitude of an equilateral triangle is perpendicular to the side chosen as the base and bisects that side and the opposite angle. Also, the altitude of an isosceles triangle when measured from the third side (the side that is not equal to the other two sides) is a perpendicular bisector of the base and also bisects the opposite angle.
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.
Is the altitude of an isosceles triangle the angle bisector of the vertex?
Yes, provided that the base is not one of the 2 equal sides. And it's also the perpendicular bisector of the base.
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.
What are the 4 particular lines for a triangle?
Maybe they are bisector, median, altitude and the middle perpendicular. (I hope I put it in English right :)
Perpendicular bisector of a triangle?
Is a line that bisects a side of a triangle and is perpendicular to that side.
How does the perpendicular bisector affect the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle?
The perpendicular bisector bisects the angle at the vertex.
Which type of triangle will always have a perpendicular bisector that is also an angle bisector?
An isosceles triangle will always have a perpendicular bisector that is also an angle bisector. In an isosceles triangle, the two sides are of equal length, and the perpendicular bisector of the base (the unequal side) also divides the vertex angle into two equal angles, thus serving as an angle bisector as well.
Is a perpendicular bisector always an angle bisector?
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! =)
Could the median of a triangle be the perpendicular bisector?
Yes in equilateral triangle.
How is constructing a perpendicular bisector different to constructing an angle bisector?
A perpendicular bisector is a straight line that divides a side of a triangle in two and is at right angles to that side. An angle bisector is a straight line that divides an angle of a triangle in two.
