Perpendiculars and Bisectors II
Distance from a Point to a Line Length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line. A point is equidistant from two lines if it is the same distance from each line.
If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is equidistant from the two sides of the angle. Theorem: Angle Bisector If  m ∠ BAD   =  m ∠ CAD , then  DB = DC.
If a point is on the interior of an angle and is equidistant from the two sides of the angle, then it lies on the bisector of the angle. Theorem: Angle Bisector Converse If  DB = DC,  then  m ∠ BAD   =  m ∠ CAD. m ∠ BAD   =  m ∠ CAD
