  2. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The line determined by the points of intersection of the two circles is the perpendicular bisector of the segment. Because the construction of the bisector is done without the knowledge of the segment's midpoint , the construction is used for determining as the intersection of the bisector and the line segment.

  3. Perpendicular bisector construction of a quadrilateral

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular_bisector...

    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.

  4. Bicentric quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicentric_quadrilateral

    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.

  6. 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]

  7. Special cases of Apollonius' problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_cases_of_Apollonius...

    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.

    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 ...

    the perpendicular bisectors p a, p b, and p c of the sides (each being the length of a segment perpendicular to one side at its midpoint and reaching to one of the other sides); the lengths of line segments with an endpoint at an arbitrary point P in the plane (for example, the length of the segment from P to vertex A is denoted PA or AP);
