PerpendicularBisector
PerpendicularBisector[{p1,p2}]
gives the perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting p1 and p2.
PerpendicularBisector[Line[{p1,p2}]]
gives the perpendicular bisector of a line segment.
Details
- PerpendicularBisector gives an InfiniteLine object.
- The pi in PerpendicularBisector[{p1,p2}] can be lists of coordinates or explicit Point objects.
- PerpendicularBisector[Line[{p1,p2}]] is equivalent to PerpendicularBisector[{p1,p2}].
- PerpendicularBisector gives the line that divides the line segment into two equal segments and that intersects the segment at right angles.
- PerpendicularBisector only works in 2D.
- PerpendicularBisector can be used with symbolic points in GeometricScene.
