Tools of Geometry Toolkit 1.5-1.6 Today’s Goals: To investigate perpendicular lines & bisectors. To use the midpoint and distance formulas.
Perpendicular Lines • Two lines that intersect to form right angles. • Symbol: means “is perpendicular to”
Bisectors Perpendicular bisector (of a segment) • A line, segment, or ray that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint • Bisects segment into two congruent segments.
Bisectors Angle bisector • A ray that divides an angle into two congruent coplanar angles • Endpoint is at the angle’s vertex.
Ex.1: Finding Angle Measures • KN bisects JKL • mJKN = 5x – 25 • mNKL = 3x + 5. • Solve for x and find mJKN.
The Distance Formula • 1st coordinate (x1, y1) • 2nd coordinate (x2, y2)
Ex.2: Finding Distance • Find the distance between T(5,2) and R(- 4,-1). • Write answer in simplest radical form.
B A Ex.3:Finding the MidpointAB has endpoints A(4,3) and B(8,5)
The Midpoint FormulaFind the “average” of each coordinate!! • 1st coordinate (x1, y1) • 2nd coordinate (x2, y2)
Ex.4:Finding an EndpointThe midpoint of AB is M(3,4). One endpoint is A(-3,2). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint B. M Let the coordinates of B be (x2, y2) A

CHALLENGE PROBLEMS Pg. 48 #60-63 • In a three-dimensional coordinate system, the distance between two points (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) can be found using this extension of the Distance Formula.
