sommaire
In 6th grade, we usually study the bisectors of a segment as part of the study of triangles. We learn that the perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that passes through the middle of the segment and is perpendicular to it. We also learn that the perpendicular bisector divides the segment into two equal parts, and that it is also the bisector of the angle. One can also learn to draw the bisector of a segment using a ruler and a compass, using the properties mentioned above.
I. Median of a segment
1.Definition:
The perpendicular bisector of a segment is the line that passes through the middle
of this segment and which is perpendicular to this segment.
Any point M located on the bisector of a segment [AB] is equidistant from the vertices A and B. So we have AM=AB.
2. construction of the perpendicular bisector with a ruler and a square
3. Construction with compass and ruler
II. Bisector of an angle
1.Definition
The bisector of an angle is the half line that divides this angle
into two angles of the same measure .
Example:
[Oz) is the bisector of 
means that :
- and are angles of the same measure;
- ==
Remark:
The bisector of an angle is the axis of symmetry of that angle.
2.construction with ruler and protractor
3.construction with ruler and compass of the bisector of an angle
Did you learn about the perpendicular bisector of a segment and the bisector of an angle in 6th grade?
