This diagram is a straightedge and compass construction. A is the center of one circle, and B is the center of the other. Select all the true statements.

• ABCD is a square.

• CD=AB

• ABD is an equilateral triangle.

• AC=BD

• AC=BC

Line segment CD is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB. Is line segment AB the perpendicular bisector of line segment CD?

In this diagram, line segment CD is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB. Assume the conjecture that the set of points equidistant from A and B is the perpendicular bisector of AB is true. Select all statements that must be true.

• A M = B M

• A M < A B

• C M = D M

• E A < E B

• E A = E M
