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