Question 56

In which of the following figures,

a) Perpendicular bisector is shown?

b) Bisector is shown?

c) only bisector is shown?

d) Only perpendicular is shown?

Solution

A bisector is a line which bisects a given line segment into two equal parts. If this bisector is perpendicular to the given line segment, then it is known as perpendicular bisector.

a) Figure (ii) represents a perpendicular bisector.

b) Figures (ii) and (iii) represent bisectors.

c) Figures (iii) represents the only bisector.

d) Figure (i) represents the only perpendicular.
