1. Write and solve an inequality for x.
2x – 3 < 25; x < 14
2. Solve to find x and y in the diagram.
x = 9, y = 4.5
5.1 Perpendicular and Angle Bisectors
Using the root words in equidistant, what do
you picture this word means?
Equidistant
● A point that is the same distance from two
or more objects.

Fire stations are located at A and B. XY, which
contains Havens Road, represents the
perpendicular bisector of AB .
A fire is reported at point X.
Which fire station is closer
to the fire? Explain.
The city wants to build a
third fire station so that it
is the same distance from
the stations at A and B.
How can the city be sure
