If A and B are two points in the plane , the perpendicular bisector of AB is the set of all points equidistant from A and B ? A True or False

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is A. The given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement: If A and B are two points in the plane , the perpendicular bisector of AB is the set of all points equidistant from A and B.

Let a line is perpendicular bisector of AB at point D and C be a random point of perpendicular bisector.

In triangle ACD and BCD,

[tex]AD=BD[/tex]                          (Definition of perpendicular bisector)

[tex]\angle ADC=\angle BDC[/tex]                          (Definition of perpendicular bisector)

[tex]DC=DC[/tex]                       (Reflexive property)

By SAS postulate of congruence,

[tex]\triangle ACD\cong \triangle BCD[/tex]

The corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

[tex]AC\cong BC[/tex]               (CPCTC)

[tex]AC=BC[/tex]

The distance between A to C and B to C are same. So, the set of all points on perpendicular bisector are equidistant from A and B.

The given statement is true. Therefore the correct option is A.
