Bisection plane and GMT

Overview
Important

A bisection plane is a plane that divides a segment or the space between two points into two equal parts. In 3D geometry, the set of all points equidistant from two fixed points AA and BB forms a plane called the perpendicular bisector plane of ABAB. GMT (Geometric Mean Theorem) in 3D often refers to loci involving distances, such as the locus of points with a constant ratio of distances to two fixed points.

Important properties

  • The bisection plane of segment ABAB is perpendicular to ABAB and passes through its midpoint.

  • Any point on the bisection plane is equidistant from AA and BB.

  • The locus of points PP such that PAPB=k\frac{PA}{PB} = k (for constant k>0k > 0) is a sphere (for k1k \neq 1) or the bisection plane (for k=1k = 1).
