In geometry, a perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular (i.e., forms a 90-degree angle) to a given line segment at its midpoint. It is a useful tool for:
- Finding the center of a line segment
- Constructing perpendicular lines
- Dividing a line segment into two equal parts
- Creating geometric shapes, such as circles and squares
To find the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, you can use the following steps:
