Answer:

In Geometry, “Bisector” is a line that divides the line into two different or equal parts. It is applied to the line segments and angles.

A perpendicular bisector is a line that bisects another line segment at a right angle, through the intersection point. Thus, we can say, a perpendicular bisector always divides a line segment through its midpoint. The term bisect itself means dividing equally or uniformly.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day!
