Answer to Question #98774 in Geometry for C

Question

In Euclidean geometry, when they say a line intersects or bisects, do any of these terms means that it is at 90 degrees? Maybe when they say a line bisects, does it mean 90 degrees?

Answer 1

No, a bisector need not intersect a given line at $90^\omicron$ which means every bisector need not be perpendicular.

Perpendicular bisectors or intersections are a specific type of bisectors.

For example, medians in a triangle are side bisectors however they are not always perpendicular, which is a commonly known fact.
