HW: worksheet
Perpendicular Bisector
◦ A segment, line, or ray that is perpendicular to a
segment at its midpoint
Equidistant
◦ Same distance
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector,
then it is equidistant from the endpoints.
If a point is equidistant from the endpoints,
then it is on the perpendicular bisector.
Find AD.
HW: worksheet
If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then
it is equidistant from the sides of the angle
If a point is equidistant from the sides of an
angle, then it lies on the angle bisector
Find the measure of angle GFJ.
The angle bisectors intersect at a point
(called the incenter) that is equidistant from
all sides
In the following diagram, find ND.
