(5 cards)
Theorem 5.1 – perpendicular bisector theorem
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment
Theorem 5.2 – perpendicular bisector converse theorem
If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment
Theorem 5.3 – angle bisector theorem
If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is equidistant from the two sides of the angle
Theorem 5.4 – angle bisector converse theorem
If a point is in the interior of an angle and equidistant from the sides of an angle, then it lies on the bisector of an angle
