Yes.

A bisector of a line segment is a line which divides the line segment into two equal parts.
A bisector of a line can divide the line in many different ways forming different angles.
A bisector is said to be a perpendicular bisector if the angle at the intersection of the two lines is 90 degrees.
But, there are several other bisectors that are not perpendicular bisectors.

Therefore, <span>it is possible for a segment to have more than one bisector.</span>

Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics. Center: (3, 5); Solution point: (−2, 17)

Angelina_Jolie [31]

$\text{we know that the general equation of the circle is }\\
\\
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\
\\
\text{where, (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.}\\
\\
\text{Given that the centered of the circle is at }(h,k)=(3,5)\\
\text{and a solution point on circle is (-2,17).}\\
\\
\text{so the radius of the circle will be the distance between center and the }$

$\text{solution point. so using the distance formula, we have}\\
\\
\text{Radius, }r=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+(17-5)^2}\\
\\
\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{25+144}\\
\\
\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{169}\\
\\
\Rightarrow r=13\\
\\
\text{Hence using the standard for of circle, equation of circle with center}\\
(h,k)=(3,5) \text{ and radius r=13 is}\\
\\
(x-3)^2+(y-5)^2=(13)^2\\
\\
\Rightarrow (x-3)^2+(y-5)^2=169$

A motorcycle zoomed along the freeway, traveling 10 meters in

Hoochie [10]

The speed of the motorcycle will be 30 meters per second.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

A motorcycle zoomed along the freeway, traveling 10 meters in 1/3 of a second.

Then the speed of the motorcycle will be

Speed = 10 / (1/3)

Speed = 10 x 3

Speed = 30 meters per second

The speed of the motorcycle will be 30 meters per second.

More about the speed link is given below.
