Question 1

Perpendicular Bisector

Answer 1

A segment, ray, line, or plane that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint.

Question 2

Equidistance from Two Points

Answer 2

A point is equidistant from 2 points if its distance from each point is the same.

Question 3

Distance form a Point to a line

Answer 3

The length of a perpendicular segment from the point to the line.

Question 4

Equidistance form the Two Lines (rays or segments)

Answer 4

When a point is the same distance form one line as it is form the another line.

Question 5

Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

Answer 5

If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistance form the endpoints of the segment.

Question 6

Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

Answer 6

If a point is equidistant form the end points of a segment then that point lies 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 2 sides of the angle.

Question 8

Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem

Answer 8

If a point is in the interior of an angle AND is equidistant from the sides of the angle, THEN it lies on the angle bisector.
