It is the same distance from the point A to CD How I got the answer was by: From A and B an arc is drawn with equal radius to intersect at point C above AB and point D below AB. CD is joined. Let E be the point of intersection of AB and CD Now we find that CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB. (This is because AC=CB, AD=DB and CD is common. Hence ACD and ABD are congruent triangles by SSS theorem By CPCT property for triangles, we get AE= EB and also Angle AEC =BEC =90 Hence distance of A from CD is AE which equals BE, the distance of B from CD
