Lesson 5-2: Bisectors in Triangles Vocab Perpendicular bisector Angle bisector
Perpendicular bisector • Intersects a segment at 900 and cuts it in half • Any point on the perp-bis is… Markings tell us this is a perpendicular bisector B A Then these must be the same length! Same distance (equidistant) from A and B (endpoints)
Angle Bisector • Cuts an angle in half • Any point on the line is… Markings tell us this is an angle bisector Then these must be the same length! The same distance from the sides of the angle
