Question

jonas constructed a segment bisector as shown. what is true about the segment bisector? select all that apply. a it divides $overline{ab}$ into two congruent line - segments. b it is perpendicular to $overline{ab}$. c it is exactly the same length as $ab$. d the distance from $a$ to any point on the bisector is equal to the distance from $b$ to the same point on the bisector.

Explanation:

A segment bisector divides a line - segment into two congruent parts. A perpendicular bisector of a line - segment is perpendicular to the line - segment. Also, any point on the perpendicular bisector of a line - segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the line - segment.

Answer:

A. It divides $\overline{AB}$ into two congruent line segments.
B. It is perpendicular to $\overline{AB}$.
D. The distance from $A$ to any point on the bisector is equal to the distance from $B$ to the same point on the bisector.
