Answer:

You need a midpoint because that is where the bisecting starts.

Explanation:

Perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a given line segment exactly into two halves forming 90 degrees at the intersection point. Perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of a line segment. It makes 90° on both sides of the line segment that is being bisected.
