Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment with endpoints at (2, 3) and (6, 7).
[3 marks]2.
Calculate the length of the segment with endpoints at (1, 2) and (5, 6).
[2 marks]3.
Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment joining (3, 4) and (7, 8).
[2 marks]4.
Explain why the perpendicular bisector of a segment passes through its midpoint and is perpendicular to the segment.
[3 marks]5.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints at (4, 2) and (8, 6).
[3 marks]6.
Given points A(1, 1) and B(5, 5), find the equation of the perpendicular bisector.
[3 marks]7.
A point P is equidistant from the points (2, 3) and (6, 7). Show how to locate point P using the perpendicular bisector.
[4 marks]8.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of a segment with length 8 units, with endpoints at (1, 2) and (9, 2).
[3 marks]9.
Find the point that is equidistant from points (3, 4) and (7, 8) and lies on the line y=2x+1.
[4 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake in constructing a perpendicular bisector if the bisector does not pass through the segment's midpoint.
