Solution

Perpendicular bisector.

When two lines intersect at 90 degrees or at right angles, they are said to be perpendicular to each other. A bisector, on the other hand, is a line that splits a line into two equal halves. A perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB intersects AB at 90 degrees and divides it into two equal halves.
