what is a bisector geometry

Question

geometry

 

Answer 1

A biscector splits something exactly in half. For instance, an angle bisector splits an angle into two equal smaller angles and a segment bisector splits a segment into two shorter equal segments. 

Answer 2

A "bisector" in geometry can be either a segment bisector or an angle bisector.

A segment bisector is a segment, line, or ray that intersects the midpoint of the segment being bisected. The bisected segment is partitioned into 2 segments of equal length.

An angle bisector is a ray, segment, or line intersecting the vertex of the angle being bisected. The bisected angle is partitioned into 2 adjacent angles of equal measure.

Note that a bisector must be a segment, line, or ray. A midpoint, though it divides a segment in two, is simply called a midpoint, not a bisector.

Answer 3

BI-"two", SECTION="cutout" BISECTOR-"something that cuts things in two equal parts"

Answer 4

In geometry, a bisector is a line that divides EITHER another line or an angle into two equal parts.

Answer 5

Both answer above are correct but not completely. In geometry a bisector is cutting an angle in 2 equal proportions.
