What is a Perpendicular Bisector:
A line which cuts a line segment
into two equal parts at 90°.
We take a
segment and bisect it
Bisect means cut it in half
Perpendicular Bisector Properties
A segment is split into 2 equal segments
PS ≅
QSThe perpendicular bisector forms 2
congruent right angles with the segment it bisects.
∠PSR = 90°
∠QSR = 90°
∠PSR ≅ ∠QSR
