  2. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The interior perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle is the segment, falling entirely on and inside the triangle, of the line that perpendicularly bisects that side. The three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle's three sides intersect at the circumcenter (the center of the circle through the three vertices). Thus any line through a ...

  3. Special cases of Apollonius' problem - Wikipedia

    To construct the perpendicular bisector of the line segment between two points requires two circles, each centered on an endpoint and passing through the other endpoint (operation 2). The intersection points of these two circles (operation 4) are equidistant from the endpoints. The line through them (operation 1) is the perpendicular bisector.

  4. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(mathematics)

    Examples from plane geometry include: The set of points equidistant from two points is a perpendicular bisector to the line segment connecting the two points. [8] The set of points equidistant from two intersecting lines is the union of their two angle bisectors. All conic sections are loci: [9]

    Constructing the perpendicular bisector from a segment; Finding the midpoint of a segment. Drawing a perpendicular line from a point to a line. Bisecting an angle; Mirroring a point in a line; Constructing a line through a point tangent to a circle; Constructing a circle through 3 noncollinear points; Drawing a line through a given point ...

  6. Thales's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem

    The locus of points equidistant from two given points is a straight line that is called the perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points. The perpendicular bisectors of any two sides of a triangle intersect in exactly one point. This point must be equidistant from the vertices of the triangle.)

  7. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    The three perpendicular bisectors meet at the circumcenter. Other sets of lines associated with a triangle are concurrent as well. For example: Any median (which is necessarily a bisector of the triangle's area) is concurrent with two other area bisectors each of which is parallel to a side. [1]

  8. Constructions in hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructions_in...

    Construct the line segment BB' and using a hyperbolic ruler, construct the line OI" such that OI" is perpendicular to BB' and parallel to B'I". Then, line OA is the angle bisector for ᗉ IAI'. [3] Case 2c: IB' is ultraparallel to I'B. Using the ultraparallel theorem, construct the common perpendicular of IB' and I'B, CC'. Let the intersection ...

  9. Equidistant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equidistant

    Perpendicular bisector of a line segment. The point where the red line crosses the black line segment is equidistant from the two end points of the black line segment. The cyclic polygon P is circumscribed by the circle C. The circumcentre O is equidistant to each point on the circle, and a fortiori to each vertex of the polygon.
