Which tools are necessary to construct a perpendicular bisector?
A compass and a straight edge
What happens between a radius and a tangent in a circle?
A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius of a circle. A radius is a straight line going from the center of the circle to the circumference (edge) of the circle. A tangent is a straight line outside the circle that touched the circle at one (and only one) point. When a tangent touches the outside edge of the circle at the same point where a radius touches the edge of the circle, the angle between the radius and tangent line is 90 degrees meaning they are perpendicular.
Did the ancient greek require a straightedge and protractor to construct a perpendicular bisector for a given line segment?
Maybe, but a straight edge and a pair of compasses would have probably been used to construct a perpendicular line bisector for a given line segment.

Is a rhombus perpendicular?
