The Perpendicular Bisector of A Segment, in A Plane, Is The Set of All Points of The Plane That Are Equidistant From The End Points of The Segment

The perpendicular bisector theorem states that the perpendicular bisector of a segment contains all points that are equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. The proof shows that for any point D on the perpendicular bisector L of segment AC, which is bisected by its midpoint B, triangles ΔDBA and ΔDCB are congruent by SAS, implying that distances DA and DC are equal, so D is equidistant from A and C.

Prove: Theorem 6-2: The Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

The perpendicular bisector of a segment, in a plane, is the set of all points of the plane that are
equidistant from the end points of the segment. L

A B C
´ ∧let D be other point of L. If D=B , then AB=BC .
Proof: Let B be the midpoint of AC

´ ,
Suppose that D is any point ¿ B ,∧Dis not on AC

Statement Reason
 D is an y point ¿ B ,∧D is not on AC
´ Given
 DB = DB Identity
 ∠ DBA ≅ ∠ DBC Definition of Right angle
 BC=BA Definition of Midpoint
 Δ DBA ≅ Δ D CB SAS Congruence
 DA = DC CPCTC
