Equidistant means "at the same distance."
Thus, for instance, if triangle is isosceles with base
, points
and
are equidistant from point
.
Similarly, the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is the set of points equidistant from the endpoints. So, given segment and a point
such that
, we know (by definition) that
is on the perpendicular bisector of
. Also, given
on the perpendicular bisector of
, we know that
.
