explain how to bisect a line segment.
user
bisecting a line segment is the process of dividing it into two equal halves. to bisect a line segment, you need two points on the line segment, a and b. draw a line perpendicular to the line segment at point a and extend it through point b. this is the line that will represent the bisector of the line segment. draw a circle using point a as the center and a radius of half of the line segment, this will intersect the perpendicular line at a midpoint, c. lastly, draw a line from point a to point c and from point b to point c. this will create two equal line segments, each with the same length bisected by the perpendicular line.
