Prove theorems about lines and angles: vertical angles, parallel-line angle relationships, and perpendicular bisectors.

Conclude two distances are equal from a point on a perpendicular bisector

Problem

Point \(P\) lies on the perpendicular bisector of segment \(AB\). What can you conclude?

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

A point on a perpendicular bisector is linked to the two endpoints of the original segment, not to the midpoint or the bisector line itself. We’ll verify the midpoint and right-angle evidence, identify the two endpoint distances from the given point, and translate equidistance into a segment-length statement.
