3. Prove Theorem 3.5 by completing each direction of the biconditional as given sepa- rately in the following two parts. (a) Prove that every point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is equidistant from the segment's endpoints. (b) Prove that every point that is equidistant from the endpoints of a line segment AB lies on its perpendicular bisector. 4. Prove that the median to the base of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base and bisects the opposite angle.
