5.1.1 Perpendicular and Angle Bisector Theorems

Question 1

equidistant

Answer 1

when a point is the same distance from two or more objects, the point is said to be equidistant from the objects

Question 2

locus

Answer 2

it is a set of points that satisfies a given condition

Question 3

angle bisector

Answer 3

it is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles

Question 4

perpendicular bisector of a segment

Answer 4

it is a line that passes through the midpoint of a segment that is perpendicular to the segment

Question 5

Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

Answer 5

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

Question 6

Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

Answer 6

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

Question 7

Angle Bisector Theorem

Answer 7

If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is equidistant from the sides of the angle.

Question 8

Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem

Answer 8

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.
