A question came up in my Geometry class that I didn't really know that answer to. We where talking about bisectors, bisecting a line segment, bisecting an angle ect..

Can you bisect a plane? Is there such a thing as a "plane segment?"
Betty Ann It is only possible to bisect finite things (an angle, a line segment). Something without boundaries (like a line or a plane) cannot be bisected.

We get misled by seeing planes represented as parallelograms. They actually have no edges.
