1. 1.3 Use Midpoint and Distance Formulas
The MIDPOINT of a segment is the point that divides the segment into two congruent segments.
A SEGMENT BISECTOR is a point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint.
- A midpoint or a segment bisector BISECTS the segment.
