Bisector l • bisector –a line, seg,ray or plane that is to a segment at its midpoint. • A pt is equidistant from 2 pts if it is the same distance from each pt. (don’t have to all be collinear) __ A _ B M
Thm 5.1 bisector thm • If a pt is on the bisector of a segment then it is equidistant from the endpts of the segment. C l B A M If l is the bisector of seg AB then CA=CB (and DA=DB) D
Thm 5.2Converse of the bisector thm • If a pt is equidistant from the endpts of a segment then it is on the bisector C M B A If CA=CB then C is on the bisector of AB
Distance from a pt to a line • Distance from a pt to a line- the length of the seg from the pt to the line. • PD=distance from P to line l P l D
Thm 5.3 bisector thm • If a pt is on the bisector of an then it is equidistant from the sides of the . D A ) O ) G
Thm 5.4converse of the bisector • If a pt is in the interior of an and is equidistant from the sides then it is on the bisector.
