[color=#000000]In the applet below, note that[/color] [b][color=#ff0000]point [i]E[/i][/color] [color=#000000]is [/color][color=#9900ff]equidistant[/color][/b][color=#000000][b] from the SIDES of ANGLE [/b][i][b]BAC.[/b] [/i] [br][br][/color][b]Directions:[br][/b][color=#000000][br]1) Move the [/color][color=#9900ff]purple slider[/color][color=#000000] to adjust [/color][color=#ff0000]point [i]E [/i]'s [/color][color=#9900ff]distance from the[/color][color=#000000] sides of ANGLE [i]BAC. [br][/i] As you do, you'll notice that all possible locations of point [i]E[/i] will be traced out. [br][br]2) What does the[/color][color=#ff0000] locus (set) of points in the plane [/color][color=#9900ff]equidistant from the[/color][color=#000000] sides of an angle[br] look like? [i]Be specific! [/i][br][br]3) Now move points [i]A[/i] and [i]B[/i] around to change the initial measure of the displayed angle.[br] After doing so, hit the "clear trace" button to clear the previous traces of [i]E[/i]. [br][br]4) Repeat step (1). Does your response for (2) above still seem valid? [br][br]3) Use the tools of GeoGebra to show that your response in (2) above is true. [br][/color]
[color=#000000]Use your observations from interacting with the applet above [br]to complete the following statement: [/color][br][br][color=#ff0000][b]If a point is ____________________ from the ____________ of an ______________, then [br][br]that __________________ lies on the ___________________ of that ________________. [/b][/color][br][br][color=#000000]Now prove this theorem true using a 2-column format. [/color][br]
