Question

A perpendicular bisector of a triangle -

• A. is perpendicular to the side.
• B. passes through the midpoint of the side.
• C. bisects the side.
• D. bisects the angle opposite to the side.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

bisects the side.

$\underset{–}{\text{Perpendicular Bisector:}}$
A perpendicular bisector of a triangle is a line perpendicular to the side, and passes through the midpoint of the side, i.e. it bisects the side.
Hence, a perpendicular bisector of a triangle:
$\bullet$ is perpendicular to the side.
$\bullet$ passes through the midpoint of the side, i.e. bisecting the side.

Hence, options (a.), (b.) and (c.) are correct.
