Do you know what a perpendicular bisector is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

It divides a segment into two congruent segments. It is also perpendicular to the segment it divides into two. That means segments AO and DO have the same length.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Set their lengths equal to each other and solve for x.
