Question

Question in screenshot, please help!

Answer 1

Can you tell me what a perpendicular bisector is? Or what a regular bisector is? It's okay if you don't know.

Answer 2

I think its the line in the middle thats perendicular to the other

Answer 3

That's true, but do you know the properties of it? I can give you one, it cuts line PQ in half. There is one more property that is essential to answering the question.

Answer 4

That is basically what that line is. With knowing that, which choices can you check off immediately?

Answer 5

A and c

Answer 6

C is correct, but A is wrong. It is wrong because even though line RS is a perpendicular bisector of PQ, it doesn't mean PQ is a perpendicular bisector of RS.

Answer 7

Ohh okay

Answer 8

But letter B is definitely correct right

Answer 9

With saying that, F is correct because it is basically saying that RS is a perpendicular bisector of PQ in math terms.

Answer 10

Yes B is correct.

Answer 11

Can you tell me what the little symbol in letter F means

Answer 12

How about D? Do you think it is correct?

Answer 13

No i dont think so

Answer 14

That symbol basically means "perpendicular bisector".

Answer 15

Okay thanks

Answer 16

D is in fact correct because when a line is bisecting another line, it is cutting it in half. Therefore, PT and QT are congruent.

Answer 17

The correct answers are B, C, D, and F. Any questions?

Answer 18

I never knew that, why isnt letter E an answer aswell?

Answer 19

Again, even though line RS is a perpendicular bisector of PQ, it doesn't mean PQ is a perpendicular bisector of RS. If PQ isnt cutting RS in half, then RT and ST cannot be congruent with the information we are given.

Answer 20

Anything else?

Answer 21

No, thanks very much for your help! @Seratul
