QR is 16 units. If a perpendicular bisector is constructed, what is the result?

A.
two segments measuring 8 units each

B.
two segments measuring 4 units each

C.
two segments measuring 32 units each

1 answer

When a perpendicular bisector is constructed for a line segment, it divides the segment into two equal parts and forms right angles (90 degrees) with the segment.

Given that QR is 16 units long, constructing a perpendicular bisector would divide QR into two equal segments.

Thus, the result would be:
A. two segments measuring 8 units each
