Question

HELP! whats an angle bisector and perpendicular bisector?

Answer 1

an angle bisector splits up an angle into two angles of equal measure. each angle's measure is half the measure of the original angle.

a perpendicular bisector is a line, segment, or ray that pass through the midpoint of segment at an angle of 90 degrees

Answer 2

so the perpendicular bisector divides the triangle in half?

Answer 3

it depends on the triangle...

Answer 4

notice BD is a perpendicular bisector of AC and it does divide the triangle into two congruent triangles.

But EF is also a perpendicular bisector but it doesn't cut the triangle "in half"

Answer 5

Okay. thank you for your help!
