3.1-3.4

Question 1

what is a segment bisector

Answer 1

a line, ray, or segment that passes through the midpoint of a segment

Question 2

what is a perpendicular bisector

Answer 2

A bisector that is also perpendicular to the segment

Question 3

what is the perpendicular bisector conjecture?

Answer 3

If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints

Question 4

What is the Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Conjecture?

Answer 4

If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it is on the median of the segment.

Question 5

what is a median?

Answer 5

the segment connecting the vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of its opposite side

Question 6

What is a midsegment?

Answer 6

The segment that connects the midpoints of two sides

Question 7

What is the shortest distance conjecture?

Answer 7

The shortest distance from a point to a line is measured along the perpendicular segment from the point to the line

Question 8

define altitude

Answer 8

a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side or to a line containing the opposite side.

Question 9

What is the angle bisector conjecture?

Answer 9

If a point is on the bisector o an angle, then it is equidistant from the sides of an angle
