All the points equidistant from two given points A and B lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.
Step-by-step explanation:
All the points equidistant from two given points A and B lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.
See the attached diagram.
We see that C is the midpoint of the line segment AB and so, AC = BC.
Now, we draw a perpendicular line to AB at C which is DE and hence it is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.
Here, any point on DE (say D or E) is equidistant from A and B both
So, AD = BD and AE = BE. (Answer)
