Answer:

SR and RZ

Explanation:

A perpendicular bisector is a line segment that passes through the midpoint of a side of a triangle. In other words, If it goes through a side, it should split the segment in half perfectly. Furthermore, it must be perpendicular to the side it passes through (it should form a ninety-degree angle with the side). Given these two rules, one can say that one of the perpendicular bisectors is SR. SR forms a right angle with (and is thus perpendicular to) side AB. Furthermore, AS is congruent to (has the same length as) SB, which means SR cuts AB in half exactly. Another bisector would be RZ (for similar reasoning). Let me know if that doesn't make sense.
