Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular means that the slopes of the "old" line and the "new" line are opposite reciprocals; bisector means that the "new" line goes directly through the center of the "old" line. This perpendicular bisector, then, will go directly through the center of the "old" line, cutting it directly in half and leaving in its wake a 90 degree angle. To write this equation, then, of the perpendicular bisector, we need the slope of the old line and the midpoint of the old line. Let's work on the midpoint first:
So the "new" line will go through this point.
Onto the slope:
so the slope is
m = -4. That means that the perpendicular slope is
Now we're ready to write the equation:
and
and finally,
Similar triangles are triangles that have the same interior angles and the corresponding sides are proportional, that is, for triangles STU and XYZ we have the proportion:
The corresponding sides are congruent only if the proportion rate is 1, but that is not always true and it's not necessary.
Therefore the correct option is B: False
If the corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent.
