1. Define the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem in your own words.
2. Explain why the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem implies that any point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
3. Draw a line segment AB and construct its perpendicular bisector, line CD. Choose a point E on line CD. Using a ruler, measure the distance from point E to point A and from point E to point B. What do you observe?
