[color=#000000]Interact with the applet below for a few minutes. Then, answer the questions that follow. [br][/color][i][color=#000000]Be sure to move around any [/color][color=#1e84cc][b]LARGE POINTS[/b][/color][color=#000000] you see! [/color][/i]
[color=#000000][b]Questions: [/b][/color] [br][br][br][color=#000000]1) From your observations, what can you conclude about the white point (with respect to segment [i]AB[/i]?) [/color][br] [br][color=#000000]2) Each [/color][color=#980000][b]brown line[/b][/color][color=#000000] you saw in the applet above is called a [/color][color=#980000][b]segment bisector[/b] [/color][color=#000000]of segment [i]AB[/i].[br][/color][color=#000000] What does it mean for a line to be a [/color][color=#980000][b]segment bisector[/b][/color][color=#000000]? Explain. [/color][br][br][color=#000000]3) Each [/color][color=#38761d][b]green line[/b][/color][color=#000000] you saw in the applet above is said to be a [/color][color=#38761d][b]line [/b][/color][color=#38761d][b]perpendicular [/b][/color][color=#000000]to segment [i]AB[/i]. [/color][color=#000000] [br] What does it mean for a line to be [/color][color=#38761d][b]perpendicular[/b][/color][color=#000000] to a segment? Explain.
