thanks ^__^
I forgot my notes and book at school.=(
Thanks

Bisector - something which divides the segment into two equal pieces.
Congruent - a segment of the same length
Midpoint - the unique point which bisects a segment.

a bisector crosses the midpoint of the segment
congruent of a segment basically means a segment of the same length
midpoint of the segment is a "point" equal distance from each end of the segment

A bisector is the one that splits the segment into two equal parts. Congruent means both parts are same shape and size, and midpoint is well.... the midpoint of the segment.
Segment is basically a straight line.

a segment bisector can be a line, a ray or a plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint.
congruent segments are segments that are equidistance (equal in their distance or length) ex. if segment ab = 5 and bc = 5 then they are congruent segments.
a midpoint is a point on a segment that is equidistance from both endpoints. ex. if b is the midpoint of segment a and c then ab = bc.

bisector: a line, segment or point that divides the segment into two congruent (equal-length) parts.
congruent segment: a segment of equal length to the first.
midpoint: the point on a segment that is exactly in the middle, or bisects the segment, or is equal distance from each end of the segment.
