Line DE bisects line AB at D, line EF is a perpendicular bisector of segment AD at C, and line EF is the interior bisector of right angle AED. In geometry, bisection is the division of something into two equal or congruent parts (having the same shape and size). Usually it involves a bisecting line, also called a bisector.
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.
Consider a triangle ABC.Let the angle bisector of angle ∠ A intersect side BC at a point D between B and C.The angle bisector theorem states that the ratio of the length of the line segment BD to the length of segment CD is equal to the ratio of the length of side AB to the length of side AC:
Lester's theorem states that in any scalene triangle, the two Fermat points, the nine-point center, and the circumcenter are concyclic. If lines are drawn through the Lemoine point parallel to the sides of a triangle, then the six points of intersection of the lines and the sides of the triangle are concyclic, in what is called the Lemoine circle.
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]
To draw the circumcircle, draw two perpendicular bisectors p 1, p 2 on the sides of the bicentric quadrilateral a respectively b. The perpendicular bisectors p 1, p 2 intersect in the centre O of the circumcircle C R with the distance x to the centre I of the incircle C r. The circumcircle can be drawn around the centre O.
In geometry, the perpendicular bisector construction of a quadrilateral is a construction which produces a new quadrilateral from a given quadrilateral using the perpendicular bisectors to the sides of the former quadrilateral.
The four sides can be split into two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides. [7] One diagonal crosses the midpoint of the other diagonal at a right angle, forming its perpendicular bisector. [9] (In the concave case, the line through one of the diagonals bisects the other.) One diagonal is a line of symmetry.
