Perpendicular bisector of a segment in GeoGebra

This comprehensive guide will walk you through crafting the perpendicular bisector of a segment using GeoGebra.

The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a distinct line that intersects the segment's midpoint and extends at a right angle from it. Essentially, this line divides the segment into two congruent parts and remains equidistant from both endpoints.

Begin by sketching a segment on the GeoGebra workspace.

Initiate with a Segment

Highlight the segment you've just crafted.

Click on the "Lines" icon located in the top toolbar.

Navigate to the Lines Menu

From the dropdown options, select "Perpendicular Bisector".

Upon executing these steps, GeoGebra will promptly illustrate the perpendicular bisector of your segment, a line that stands perpendicular to your segment and intersects its midpoint.

You've drawn the perpendicular bisector of a segment in GeoGebra.

You've now adeptly constructed the perpendicular bisector of a segment in GeoGebra. While this method offers efficiency, there are alternative approaches. One such method involves pinpointing the segment's midpoint first and subsequently drawing a line perpendicular to the segment through this midpoint. The outcome remains consistent, but the journey varies slightly in length.
