Question

question 10 of 25

a line segment that forms a right angle with another segment at its midpoint is a:

a. regular polygon
b. angle bisector
c. perpendicular bisector
d. rectangle

Explanation:

Analyze the geometric properties

The question describes a line segment that:

  1. Forms a right angle (\(90^\circ\)) with another segment, which means it is perpendicular to it.
  2. Intersects the other segment at its midpoint, which means it bisects it.

Match with geometric definitions

A line or segment that is both perpendicular to another segment and passes through its midpoint is defined as a perpendicular bisector.

Answer:

  • A. regular polygon
  • B. angle bisector
  • C. perpendicular bisector (Correct answer)
  • D. rectangle
