A line <u>bisector</u> is a <em>straight </em>line that <u>divides</u> a given line into two equal parts. Thus the following steps are required by Naomi to show that point D is <em>equidistant</em> from points A and C.
BD ⊥ AC (given)
BD = 3 units, and AC = 8 units.
BD is the <em>perpendicular</em> bisector of <u>segment</u> AC (given)
Thus,
<BDA ≅ <BDC <em>(right</em> angles formed by a <u>perpendicular</u> bisector)
AD ≅ DC <em>(equal</em> parts of a<em> bisected l</em>ine)
AD ≅ DC = 4 units
Thus joining <u>points</u> B to A, and B to C,
BA ≅ BC.
So that applying <em>Pythagoras</em> theorem to ΔABD, we have:
=
+
=
+
=
AB = 5 units
So that,
BA ≅ BC = 5 units
Therefore, it can be <u>concluded</u> that point D is <em>equidistant</em> from points A and C.
