Flashcard Perpendicular Bisectors and Angle Bisectors

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What is an angle bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

If a point is equidistant from two figures, what can be said about its distance to those figures?

Back

The point is the same distance from both figures.

How do you find the length of a segment given its endpoints?

Front

What is the relationship between the angles formed by perpendicular bisectors?

Back

The angles formed by perpendicular bisectors are right angles (90 degrees).

Front

If two segments are congruent, what can be said about their lengths?

Back

Their lengths are equal.

Front

What is the significance of the point where two angle bisectors intersect?

Back

It is called the incenter, which is equidistant from the sides of the angle.

Front

How do you determine if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment?

Back

A point lies on the perpendicular bisector if it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

Front

What is the measure of an angle if its bisector divides it into two angles of 38 degrees each?

Back

The measure of the original angle is 76 degrees.
