Angle Congruent to an Angle Practice Worksheet

Construct an angle congruent to each of the below.

D G
A

B C

E F
H

Perpendicular Bisector of a Segment

A B

Plan:
1) Find two points equidistant from A and B
2) Draw a line between them; all points on the line will be equidistant from A and B

The line is a perpendicular bisector!

 C

A B

Step 1: Draw circles with radius AB centered on A and B.

 C

A B

Step 2: Draw line CD. This is the perpendicular bisector of segment AB!
NOTE: The same construction works to find the midpoint of a segment, since the midpoint is
where the segment intersects its perpendicular bisector.

Perpendicular Bisector of a Segment Practice Worksheet

Construct a perpendicular bisector for each of the following segments.

 E
A B C

D
Perpendicular through a Point

Plan:
1) Find two points on j which are equidistant from C.
2) Construct the perpendicular bisector for the segment joining the two points.

The perpendicular bisector will be perpendicular to J, and will pass through C since it’s
equidistant from the two points.
