1 perpendicular bisector divides 1 side of the triangle into two equal lengths at a 90 degree angle. So if there's is three perpendicular bisectors, then it splits all three sides the triangles into equal lengths.

Angle bisectors splits an angle of a triangle into two even degrees.


EX: if it is an equilateral triangle, each angle will be sixty degrees. Therefore, ONE angle bisector will split ONE of the angles into even degrees of thirty degrees.
