Question

Does the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle passes through the midpoint of that side

Answer 1

it need not necessary to pass through mid point of side...
it depends on...(1)what kind of your triangle is
....(2) on which side you are you are drawing perpendicular....
if your triangle is scalance than it doesn't matter from which vertex to and ,on which side you are drawing perpendicular...it will never pass through mid point of side
if your triangle is equilateral than from any vertex to opposite side if you draw perpendicular ...it will pass through mid point of side.
if your triangle is isosceles (say like sides are 4,4 ,6) than 6 will divided at mid point ....rest will never...........this is all about perpendicular drawing from vertex to opposite side in any triangle.

Answer 2

do you understand or not?

Answer 3

no i dnt

Answer 4

just read it carefully.....you will surely understand

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

still dnt understand

Answer 7

By definition the bisector of a side passes through the midpoint of that side. Have you stated your question correctly?

Answer 8

The definition of "bisect" is "divide in half," which means it must pass through the midpoint.

Answer 9

actually he is telling "perpendicular " bisector.....i think he wants to tell (that kind of line from a vertex which is perpendicular to side in front).
than...if you try to draw a line which is perpendicular to the side ..it cann't be perpedicular always

Answer 10

That's why he asked if he stated his question correctly. Because he asked if the perpendicular bisector OF A SIDE passed through the midpoint OF THAT SIDE. He wasn't talking about an angle. You seem to think he was asking "is the bisector of an angle of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side," which is totally not what he said. Hopefully they will clarify.
