4. Study the diagram. The line is perpendicular to line
(a) Is CE = EG?
(b) Does PE bisect CG?
(c) Identify any two line segments for which PE is the perpendicular bisector.
(d) Are these true?
(i) AC > FG
(ii) CD = GH
(iii) BC < EH.
(a) CE = 5 - 3 = 2 units
EG = 7 - 5 = 2 units
Therefore CE = EG.
(b) CE = EG therefore PE bisects CG.
(c) PE is the perpendicular bisector for line segments DF and BH
(d) (i) AC = 3 - 1 = 2 units
FG = 7 - 6 = 1 unit
Therefore AC > FG
True
(ii) CD = 4 - 3 = 1 unit
GH = 8 - 7 = 1 unit
Therefore CD = GH
True
(iii) BC = 3 - 2 = 1 unit
EH = 8 - 5 = 3 units
Therefore BC < EH
True
