The pointed line is equator as well as perpendicular bisector.Right?
No.Actually I was learning electric field along equatorial line.mathman said:This question belongs in the math forum.
No.Equatorial line of the attached image.nasu said:Equatorial line of what? Of the Earth?

That is an unusual use of the word; the author is using some imagery here to relate the sphere to the Earth.gracy said:Equatorial line of the attached image.
The Equator is an imaginary line that runs around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and is approximately 40,075 kilometers long.
A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts another line segment into two equal parts at a 90 degree angle. It is the shortest distance from a point to a line and divides the line segment into two equal halves.
The Equator and perpendicular bisector are related in that they are both imaginary lines that divide something into equal parts. The Equator divides the Earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres, while the perpendicular bisector divides a line segment into two equal parts.
The Equator is used in geography and navigation to help determine locations and distances on Earth. The perpendicular bisector is used in geometry and construction to create right angles and divide objects into equal parts.
The Equator can be found at 0 degrees latitude using a map or globe. The perpendicular bisector can be found using a compass and straight edge, by drawing two arcs that intersect and then drawing a line through the intersection at a 90 degree angle.
