What’s the Chapter About? • Analyzing segment bisectors and angle bisectors. • Identifying complementary angles, supplementary angles, vertical angles, and linear pairs. • Using properties of equality and congruence.
Essential Questions • How do you identify special angle and segment relationships? • How would you describe the relationship between equality and congruence? • How are conditional statements necessary to logical reasoning?
Midpoint • MIDPOINT: • The point on a segment that divides the segment into two congruent segments.\ • Point M is the midpoint below: A M B
Segment Bisector • SEGMENT BISECTOR: • A segment, ray, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint. • To bisect a segment means to divide the segment into two congruent segments.
Example (Notes) • K is the midpoint of FG. Find FK and KG. FK = KG =

Example (Notes) • Line s is a segment bisector of FH. Find each value of x.
Midpoint Formula • The Midpoint Formula: • The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment are the averages of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the endpoints. • The midpoint of the segment joining A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is…
