Segment bisector


Pictured here is a cross, one of the most recognizable objects in the world. The vertical part of the cross intersects with the midpoint of the horizontal part of the cross. The vertical part is therefore a segment bisector because it intersects with midpoint of the horizontal segment, creating two equal pieces on each side. The cross became famous way back in 32 A.D. when Jesus was put on one. Since then it has became the symbol of the biggest religion in human history. They are seen as a holy symbol by Christians and can be found on Bibles, churches, and at every Christian institution. Crosses are often prayed to and gone to when seeking spiritual guidance. A few people that can be seen with a cross are Pope Francis (great guy), followers of Christianity across the world, and famous figures throughout history.
