To explain the difference between the perpendicular bisector of a segment and an altitude.
Explanation;
The perpendicular bisector of a segment, as the phrase implies, is a line that divides an opposite line segment into two parts at a 90-degree position. The line divides the opposite line segment such that, a 90-degree angle is formed on either side of the line dividing the segment.
An altitude is a perpendicular line from the vertex of a triangle to the opposite side. The altitude is not just a line but one that divides the opposite side at a 90-degree angle on either side of the intersection.
Basically the perpendicular bisector and the altitude have very similar characteristics but, the altitude is strictly from the vertex facing the side of the triangle.
