Question
In ?DEF, \(\overline{G H}\) is the perpendicular bisector of \(\overline{E F}\). Is it possible to construct other perpendicular bisectors in ?DEF? Make a conjecture about the number of perpendicular bisectors of a triangle.
Solution
The first step in solving 6-2 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In ?DEF, \(\overline{G H}\) is the perpendicular bisector of \(\overline{E F}\). Is it possible to construct other perpendicular bisectors in ?DEF? Make a conjecture about the number of perpendicular bisectors of a triangle.
From the textbook chapter More About Triangles - Altitudes and Perpendicular Bisectors you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
