A segment, ray, line or plane that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint. (CD, ED & FD) Points that are the same distance away from another point. (A, B & C are equidistant to D) When 3, or more, lines, rays, etc.. intersect the same point they are concurrent to each other. (AD, BD & CD) The point of intersection between 3, or more, lines, rays, ect.. (Point D) The point of concurrency between the 3 perpendicular bisectors of a triangle. (Also Point D)
