Question

The perp. bis of a side of a scalene triangle passes through a vertex of the triangle.
ALWAYS/
SOMETIMES/
NEVER

Answer 1

I don't think it's possible

Answer 2

A perpendicular bisector means perpendicular to that line so:

Answer 3

As you notice a line that is perpendicular to a scalene triangle seems to pass through the vertex but how about if we move our point where perpendicular?

Answer 4

I'm confused :(

Answer 5

If you have a line X and a line perpendicular to X named line Y then it looks like this:

Answer 6

OK

Answer 7

So based on the triangles above how often does the perpendicular bisect cross the vertex?

Answer 8

2

Answer 9

Based on the answers given?

Answer 10

1 time

Answer 11

Based on your answer choices how often:
Always, sometimes, or never?

Answer 12

alwaays..

Answer 13

In the second triangle when we moved the bisector you said it only crossed 1 time so it did not cross always.

Answer 14

so sometimes...

Answer 15

Correct because depending on where the bisector is the line may cross he vertex point.

Answer 16
