Question

Andrew draws triangle ABC. He then constructs a perpendicular bisector from vertex A that intersects side BC at point D. What can andrew conclude based on his drawing

Answer 1

BD = DC.

Explanation:

Took the test on FLVS

Answer 2

BD = DC

Explanation:

A perpendicular bisector is a line segment that goes form a vertex to its opposite side. The important characteristic is that a perpendicular bisector intersects the opposite at the mid point and with a right angle, that's why is called perpendicular and bisector.

So, Andrew can conclude that side BC is divide equally, that is, BD = DC.
