1. Chapter 5 Types of Segments

2. Angle Bisector Bisector of an angle
Divides the angle into 2 congruent angles

3. Median of a Triangle
Segment whose endpoints are a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side
midpoint

4. Altitude of a Triangle Height of a triangle
Perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side (must form a right angle)

5. Perpendicular Bisector
Line, ray, or segment that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint
Must form a right angle and divide segment into 2 congruent parts.
Perpendicular Bisector
