Segments Flashcards
1
Q
Congruent segments
A
Congruent segments are segments that have equal lengths. To indicate that segment DE and segment FG have equal lengths, your write;
DE = FG
to indicate that segment DE and FG are congruent you write;
Segment DE squiggle line above = segment FG
Squiggle above =, means congruent
2
Q
Midpoint of a segment
A
The midpoint of a segment is the poky that divides the seventh in tow congruent segments. In the diagram;
AP = PB Segment AP (squiggle above =) is congruent to segment PB
And P is the midpoint of segment AB
3
Q
Bisector of a segment
A
The bisector of a segment is a line, segment, Ray or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint. Line L is a bisector of segment AB. Segment PQ and plane X also bisect segment AB.
