Bisect & Perpendicular Bisector

Bisect
Bi means two
Sect means to cut
Bisect means to cut in two

Perpendicular Bisector

A line that divides another line segments in half and has right angles to it.


1st way to make a Perpendicular Bisector:

Fold the paper, so point A is on point B. Draw a line in the crease that you made. Label it C,D. Where they intersect, label it P.


2nd way to make
a Perpendicular Bisector:


You have to use a Right Triangle.

Step 1,
Draw a line segment on a piece of paper with a right triangle.

Step 2,
Use the right triangle to find the half mark of the line segment.

Step 3,
Draw another line segment on the half mark, intersecting with the original

Step 4,
Make sure that it is 90 degrees. (use a protractor to check)


3rd way to make a Perpendicular Bisector:


Use a Compass.

Step 1,
Make an arc from point A that is greater than half way.

Step 2,
Make an equal sized arc from point B.

Step 3,
Connect the arc intersection with a straight line.

  5. Great post Karl!
    i really liked your video it was great it really helped me. And i liked how you coloued the important words different from the rest but there is no link or picture and an idea for a picture would be: you could make a picture for each perpindicular bisector. but your words were a bit to small. Also if someone (that diden't know anything about perpindicular bisectors)read your scribe post they would learn everything they needed to know about perpindicular bisectors also make sure that all the printing is the same size unless it is the title. But overall it was a great scribe post Karl!

  7. Great post Karl! I like how you changed the colors of the titles because it made it easier for me to read. But I think you were supposed to put a picture in and the size of the font made the information harder to read.
