Perpendiculater and Angle Bisectors

Perpendicular Bisectors:

A term needed to know is equidistant, when talking about perpendicular bisectors.

-Equidistant: This is when a point is the same distance from two or more objects.

Distance and Perpendicular Bisectors:

1. If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment.

2. If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.

Angle Bisectors:

Distance and Angle Bisectors:
1. If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is equidistant from the sides of the angle.
2. If a point in the interior of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle, then it is on the bisector of the angle.
