This video tutorial covers the perpendicular bisector theorem converse, explaining that if a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, it lies on the perpendicular bisector of that segment. The tutorial provides a detailed proof using side-angle-side congruence, demonstrating that the line is perpendicular and bisects the segment. The video concludes with a summary of the proof and its implications.

What does the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem Converse state about a point equidistant from the endpoints of a segment?

• The point is on the segment itself.

• The point is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.

• The point is at the midpoint of the segment.

• The point is outside the segment.
