Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts a line segment connecting two points exactly in half at a 90 degree angle.

To find the perpendicular bisector of two points, all you need to do is find their midpoint and negative reciprocal, and plug these answers into the equation for a line in slope-intercept form.

If you want to know how to find the perpendicular bisector of two points, just follow these steps

midpoint = (X₁ + X₂  ,  Y₁ + Y₂ )

Answer:

$\sqrt{98}$ (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line we are looking at can be viewed as the hypotenuse of a triangle with the corner side of the rectangular prism being one side, and the center of the base of the rectangular prism being the other side.

To find the length of the side along the bottom, we need to find the hypotenuse of a triangle with side lengths 3 units and 5 units. The hypotenuse is a²+b² which equals c² (c being the hypotenuse).

3² + 5² = c²

9 + 25 = 34

c = $\sqrt{34}$
