Perpendicular Bisector

Definition

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

Key Points

• Labeling:

  • One side of the bisector is labeled A.
  • The other side is labeled B.
  • The point where the bisector intersects the line segment is labeled C.

• Angle Measurement:

  • The angles formed at point C, which are angle OCA and angle OCB, measure 90 degrees.

• Segment Division:

  • The line segment is divided into two equal parts:
    • AC (one part)
    • CB (the other equal part)
