  1. Chapter 5 5-2 Perpendicular and Angle bisectors

  2. Objectives Prove and apply theorems about perpendicular bisectors. Prove and apply theorems about angle bisectors.

  3. Equidistant Point • When a point is the same distance from two or more objects, the point is said to be equidistantfrom the objects. • Triangle congruence theorems can be used to prove theorems about equidistant points.

  4. Theorems

  5. Locus • A locus is a set of points that satisfies a given condition. The perpendicular bisector of a segment can be defined as the locus of points in a plane that are equidistant from the endpoints of the segment

  6. Example#1 • Find each measure. • MN • perp.Bisector Tm • MN = 2.6 MN = LN

  7. Example#2 • Find each measure. • BC BC = 2CD BC = 2(12) = 24 Since AB = AC and , is the perpendicular bisector of by the Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem.

  8. Example#3 • Find each measure. • TU

  9. Student Guided Practice • Do problems 2-4 in your book page 316

  10. Perpendicular lines • Remember that the distance between a point and a line is the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.

  11. Theorems

  12. Angle Bisector • Based on these theorems, an angle bisector can be defined as the locus of all points in the interior of the angle that are equidistant from the sides of the angle.

  13. Example #4 • Find the measure • BC

  14. Example#5 • Find the length. • mEFH, given that mEFG= 50°.

  15. Exxample#6 • Find mMKL

  16. Student guided practice • Do problems 5-6 in your book page 316

  17. Application • John wants to hang a spotlight along the back of a display case. Wires AD and CD are the same length, and A and C are equidistant from B. How do the wires keep the spotlight centered?

  18. solution • It is given that . So D is on the perpendicular bisector of by the Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem. Since B is the midpoint of , is the perpendicular bisector of . Therefore the spotlight remains centered under the mounting.

  19. Example • Write an equation in point-slope form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints • C(6, –5) and D(10, 1).

  20. Homework • Do problems 12-17 in your book page 316.

  21. Closure • Today we learned about perpendicular and angle bisectors.
