5.2 Task - Perpendicular Bisectors

Author:arondotson

Construct a segment of given length, 5 units. Show labels of the endpoints, A and B. Construct another segment from point A of given length, also 5 units. Drag this new endpoint off of point B to a new location. Show this point's label, C. Construct segment BC. Use the perpendicular bisector tool to create the perpendicular bisector of side BC. Show/name the intersection of the perpendicular bisector and BC, point D. Show the measures of segments BD and CD. Show the measures of segments AB and AC. Answer the questions below the graph.
