The term that best describes GF←→ is perpendicular bisector. This is because the line GF intersects the line segment AB at its midpoint C, where the fold occurred, which suggests that it is perpendicular to AB at that point.
Use the image to answer the question.
Horizontal line segment upper A upper B is intersected at the midpoint upper C by an upward sloping line upper G upper F with arrows at both ends.
Mere started with AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
on her paper. She folded her paper so that point A
was on top of point B
. Then, she unfolded her paper and labeled the intersection of the fold and the line segment with point C
. Finally, she used a straight edge to draw GF←→
at an arbitrary angle through point C
. What term best describes GF←→
?
