20.Prove using coordinate geometry: If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. Given: Line l is the perpendicular bisector of line cd . Prove: Point R(a, b) is equidistant from points C and D. https://study.ashworthcollege.edu/access/content/attachment/4692a876-1abd-467e-86f6-465d00279bdf/Assignments/62e13e86-3dfe-4a92-aec8-ca649660fb4d/Geometry%2BMidterm%2BExam.pdf @Mashy @phi

@Mashy To lazy to do this, can you give him a hand?
I don't know try looking up similar problems to help u
its ok
@TwoPointInfinity
I do classes on ashworth too.
Given: Line l is the perpendicular bisector of line cd . Prove: Point R(a, b) is equidistant from points C and D. The easiest way to do this is to "slide" line segment CD so it lies on the x-axis and its midpoint is at the origin (0,0). Then we can say the point C will be on the x-axis at say (-x1,0). point D will be an equal distance from the origin, but at (+x1,0) The perpendicular bisector of segment CD will go through the mid-point (0,0), and be 90º to the x-axis... in other words, it will be the y-axis
thank u so much ur a life saver
