1. Using Properties of Angle Bisectors
Remember?
The distance from a point to a line is defined as the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line. For instance, in the diagram shown, the distance between the point Q and the line m is QP.

5. Perpendicular Bisector – A segment, ray, line, or plane that is
perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint is called a
perpendicular bisector.

In the diagram MN is the perpendicular bisector of ST.
What segment lengths in the diagram are equal?
Explain why Q is on MN.
c. If TM = 2x+3 and SM = 4x-7. What is the length of TM and SM?

8. Ex. 1 Using Perpendicular Bisectors
What segment lengths in the diagram are equal?
Solution: MN bisects ST, so NS = NT. Because M is on the perpendicular bisector of ST, MS = MT. (By Theorem 5.1). The diagram shows that QS = QT = 12.
Explain why Q is on MN.
Solution: QS = QT, so Q is equidistant from S and T. By Theorem 5.2, Q is on the perpendicular bisector of ST, which is MN.

9. Perpendicular Bisector
Line, segment or ray that passes through the midpoint of the side and is perpendicular to that side.
Circumcenter – intersection of the 3 bisectors. The circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices.
If O is the circumcenter OA1 = OA2 = OA3.

10. Concurrent Lines: three or more lines intersect at a common point.
Point of concurrency: point where concurrent lines intersect.

18. Ex. 3: Using Angle Bisectors
Roof Trusses: Some roofs are built with wooden trusses that are assembled in a factory and shipped to the building site. In the diagram of the roof trusses shown, you are given that AB bisects CAD and that ACB and ADB are right angles. What can you say about BC and BD?

19. SOLUTION:
Because BC and BD meet AC and AD at right angles, they are perpendicular segments to the sides of CAD. This implies that their lengths represent distances from the point B to AC and AD. Because point B is on the bisector of CAD, it is equidistant from the sides of the angle.
So, BC = BD, and you can conclude that BC ≅ BD.

21. Theorem 5.1 Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
If CP is the perpendicular bisector of AB, then CA = CB.

22. Theorem 5.2: Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
If DA = DB, then D lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB.

24. Placing Triangles on coordinate plane Key Concept pg 301
Step 1: Use the origin as a vertex or center of the triangle
Step 2: Place at least one side of a triangle on an axis.
Step 3: Keep the triangle within the first quadrant, if possible.
Step 4: Use coordinates that make computations as simple as possible.
