A perpendicular bisector is a line that intersects a line segment at a right angle (90 degrees).
Components
The perpendicular bisector is represented by a green line.
Labels:
One side is labeled A.
The other side is labeled B.
The point where the bisector intersects the line segment is labeled C.
Properties
The angles formed at the intersection point are:
Angle OCA = 90 degrees
Angle OCB = 90 degrees
The perpendicular bisector divides the line segment into two equal parts:
Length AC
Length CB
Conclusion
The perpendicular bisector is a key geometric concept that creates two equal sections of a line segment while maintaining right angles at the intersection.
