Exploring Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors in Geometry

The video tutorial covers the concepts of perpendicular and angle bisectors in geometry. It begins with definitions and properties of bisectors, followed by detailed explanations and examples of perpendicular bisectors, including their applications in real-world scenarios like roof trusses. The tutorial then transitions to angle bisectors, explaining their properties and how they divide angles into equal parts. Throughout the video, the instructor solves various problems using algebra to find unknown values, reinforcing the understanding of bisectors and their applications in geometry.

What does the term 'bisector' mean in geometry?
