Question

(100 POINTS) How is constructing a perpendicular bisector similar to constructing a angle bisector? How is it different? PLEASE EXPLAIN IN FULL

Answer 1

Constructing a perpendicular bisector and an angle bisector both divide shapes, but they have different goals. They both use compass and a straightedge. A perpendicular bisector makes a line that's perpendicular to a segment's middle point, while an angle bisector splits an angle into two equal parts.

Explanation:

Answer 2

To construct a perpendicular bisector from a point on the line, think of the straight line as 180°, and you are bisecting that 180° angle.

The steps are the same as bisecting any given angle using only a straight edge and a compass.
