Perpendicular Bisector Lecture Notes

Definition

• A perpendicular bisector is a line that intersects a line segment at a 90-degree angle.

Key Components

• Labeling:
  • Side A
  • Side B
  • Intersecting point C

Characteristics

• The perpendicular bisector divides the line segment into two equal parts:
  • AC (one part)
  • CB (the other equal part)

Angles

• The angles formed by the intersection:
  • Angle OCA = 90 degrees
  • Angle OCB = 90 degrees

Visual Representation

• The perpendicular bisector is represented by a green line in diagrams.
