1 answer

When a line segment \( AB \) is the perpendicular bisector of another segment \( CD \), it means that:

  1. \( AB \) is perpendicular to \( CD \) (\( AB \perp CD \)).
  2. The point of intersection \( P \) divides \( CD \) into two equal segments, meaning \( CP \cong DP \).

Given your choices, the correct statements that characterize \( AB \) as the perpendicular bisector of \( CD \) are:

  • \( AB \perp CD \)
  • \( CP \cong DP \)

Thus, the correct choice would be:
