Ok, i have 2 questions. but there both about the same thing so ill post them both right here....?

Question

--- ___
AX is the perpendicular bisector of QS at M.
What is m
&& If QM=30, what is QS?

A perpendicular bisector forms an angle of 90 degrees
m < AMS = 90

QS = QM + MS
but QM = MS cause AM bisects QS
QS = 2QM = 60

Answer 2

AX is the perpendicular bisector of QS at M.

that itself tells that the two lines are perpendicular to each other.

therefore the angle M , that is
Also since AX is the bisector which means it divides QS into two equal halves.

Therefore QM = MS

QM = 30 [given]
QS = QM + MS
= 30 + 30
= 60

Answer 3

Perpendicular means to intersect at a right angle! And how many degrees are in a right angle? NOT 45!

A bisector divides a line segment into two congruent (equal) segments, so if QM is 30 then MQ would also equal ?
Making the whole segment a total of the parts (QM and MS). (add them together)

Being the teacher I am I will help but never give an actual answer!

Also, check your book and notes for definitions, please.

Answer 4

Perpendicular means at a right angle (90 degrees). If AX is perpendicular to QS, then the angle m (
Bisector means "cut in half" or into "two equal parts." If QM=30 then MS must also = 30, so QS = 60.

Answer 5

QS is twice the value of QM

Answer 6

Damn it, pay attention in class and you won't have to ask freakin' homework questions here!!! Or if you really need extra help how about asking HOW to solve the problems rather than the answers?

Answer 7

m
QS = 60
