5. Introduction Definition: The distance between two objects is the length of the shortest path between them. Postulate: A line segment is the shortest distance between two points. Definition: Equidistant means two points are the same distance from some other object. Definition: The perpendicular bisector (  bis.) of a segment is the line that bisects and is perpendicular to the segment.

6. Theorems of the Day Theorem 24: If two points are each equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then the points determine the perpendicular bisector. A XY C B D XY F E N X Y M
