Question

problem 6: (first taught in lesson 12) complete this sentence with the best of the choices given. the ______ of a line segment is the point that divides the line segment into two congruent line segments. after you pick your answer press go. a. vertex b. midpoint c. bisector d. end point e. transversal

Explanation:

• Analyze Option A: A vertex is a corner point (e.g., of a polygon), not related to dividing a line segment into two congruent parts.
• Analyze Option B: A midpoint is defined as the point that divides a line segment into two congruent (equal - length) line segments, which matches the description in the sentence.
• Analyze Option C: A bisector (e.g., a segment bisector) can be a line, ray, or segment that divides another segment, but the term "bisector" itself is not a point. The point of bisection is the midpoint.
• Analyze Option D: An endpoint is a terminal point of a line segment, it does not divide the segment into two congruent parts.
• Analyze Option E: A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines, not related to dividing a line segment.

Answer:

B. midpoint
