1. A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that passes through the of another segment.
2. The midpoint of a segment divides the segment into two segments.
3. If M is the midpoint of segment AB, then AM is to MB.
4. Which of the following can be a segment bisector?
A line
A ray
A segment
All of the above
5. If segment PQ has a length of 24 units and point R is its midpoint, what is the length of PR?
6 units
12 units
24 units
48 units
6. In the diagram above, M is the midpoint of segment AB. If AM = 3x + 5 and MB = 5x - 7, find the value of x and the length of AB.
7. Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with endpoints at (2, 7) and (8, 3). Plot the segment and its midpoint on the graph.
8. A segment can have more than one midpoint.
True
False
9. A perpendicular bisector is always a segment bisector.
True
False
10. Segment CD has endpoints C(-3, 5) and D(7, -1). Find the coordinates of the midpoint M. Then, find the length of segment CM and MD to verify that M is indeed the midpoint.
