Segment Bisectors (Definitions)
Interact with the applet below for a few minutes. Then, answer the questions that follow.
Be sure to move around any LARGE POINTS you see!
Questions:
1) From your observations, what can you conclude about the white point (with respect to segment AB?)
2) Each brown line you saw in the applet above is called a segment bisector of segment AB.
What does it mean for a line to be a segment bisector? Explain.
3) Each green line you saw in the applet above is said to be a line perpendicular to segment AB.
What does it mean for a line to be perpendicular to a segment? Explain.
4) The red line you saw in the applet above is said to be the perpendicular bisector of segment AB.
What does it mean for a line to be a perpendicular bisector of segment?
Note: There should be 2 components (parts) to your definition.
