  1. Three snack carts sell frozen yogurt from points A, B, and Coutside a city. Each of the three carts is the same distance from the frozen yogurt distributor. EXAMPLE 3 Use the concurrency of perpendicular bisectors FROZEN YOGURT Find a location for the distributor that is equidistant from the three carts.

  2. Theorem 5.4 shows you that you can find a point equidistant from three points by using the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle formed by those points. Copy the positions of points A, B, and Cand connect those points to draw ABC. Then use a ruler and protractor to draw the three perpendicular bisectors of ABC. The point of concurrency Dis the location of the distributor. EXAMPLE 3 Use the concurrency of perpendicular bisectors

  3. WHAT IF? 4. Hot pretzels are sold from points Aand Band also from a cart at point E. Where could the pretzel distributor be located if it is equidistant from those three points? Sketch the triangle and show the location. Where the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle formed by A, B, and Cintersect for Example 3 GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION
