Finding the midpoint 9/1 Midpoint: The point that is exactly in the middle of a segment Draw a segment Put pointer on endpoint, make an arc above and below. Repeat for other endpoint Use a straightedge to see where the connection of the “x” would intersect
Segment Bisector Segment bisector: a segment that cuts another segment in two equal pieces at the midpoint. Draw a line through the midpoint.
Perpendicular bisector Perpendicular bisector: A line/segment that cuts another segment into two equal pieces at a 90 degree angle through the midpoint. Connect the “x”s
