Compare and contrast the perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors of a triangle. How are they alike? How are they different?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are alike because they both divide something.. They are different because one perpendicular bisector divides one side of the triangle into two equal lengths at a 90 degree angle. So if there's is three perpendicular bisectors, then it splits all three sides the triangles into equal lengths. Angle bisectors splits an angle of a triangle into two even degrees.

That is what i got.. is it correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could extend your first sentence by saying that they are alike because perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors divide sides and angles into two equal parts, respectively. Your second sentence makes no sense, but you could re-state their main difference: one divides the sides of a triangle and the other its angles.
