Does the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle divides the triangle into two congruent?
Only if the vertex angle being bisected is between the sides of equal length will the result be two congruent triangles.
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! =)
Which of these is the definition of a perpendicular bisector?
a line or segment that is perpendicular to the given segment and divides it into two congruent segments
Is it possible for a segment to be a perpendicular bisector angle bisector median and altitude of a triangle?
Yes. If you have an isosceles triangle standing up on the unequal side, thenthe line segment from the top vertex perpendicular to the base is all of these.
A perpendicular bisector of a triangle splits what into two congruent parts?
It splits one side of the triangle into two congruent parts.
What does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle split into two congruent parts?
That will depend on what type of triangle it is as for example if it is an isosceles triangle then it will form two congruent right angle triangles.
If an angle bisector of an isosceles triangle yields two isosceles triangles what were the angle measures of the original triangle?
they would be congruent triangles!
For what kinds of triangles can the perpendicular bisector of a side also be an angle bisector of the angle opposite the side?
Every isosceles or equilateral triangle.
How many acute triangles are in a perpendicular bisector?
A "perpendicular bisector" is a line. There are no triangles of any kind in a line.
Does the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle divides the triangle into two congruent?
Only if the vertex angle being bisected is between the sides of equal length will the result be two congruent triangles.

What splits a perpendicular bisector into two congruent parts?
A perpendicular bisector splits a line segment into two congruent parts.
In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertices of two?
Equilateral triangles
In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertex of two?
equilateral triangles
Angle bisector of angleA of triangleABC is perpendicular to BC prove it is isosceles?
Let D represent the point on BC where the bisector of A intersects BC. Because AD bisects angle A, angle BAD is congruent to CAD. Because AD is perpendicular to BC, angle ADB is congruent to ADC (both are right angles). The line segment is congruent to itself. By angle-side-angle (ASA), we know that triangle ADB is congruent to triangle ADC. Therefore line segment AB is congruent to AC, so triangle ABC is isosceles.
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! =)
Is this True or false the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is also the perpendicular bisector of the base?
True
