Question 16 ## Geometric Principles in Practical SituationsAn ice cream vendor wants to be located equidistant from the entrances of a zoo and an amusement park. Should he locate his stand on a perpendicular bisector, an angle bisector, a median, or an altitude?### Options:- **A. Perpendicular bisector**- **B. Angle bisector**- **C. Median**- **D. Altitude**In this scenario, understanding fundamental geometric principles can assist in locating the most optimal point for the ice cream stand. The vendor aims to be equidistant from two specific points: the entrance of the zoo and the entrance of the amusement park. **Discussion:**- **Perpendicular Bisector**: A perpendicular bisector is a line segment that divides another line segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle. When locating a point that is equidistant from two points, the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining these two points is the appropriate choice.- **Angle Bisector**: An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal angles. It doesn't necessarily provide the property of equidistance between two separate points unless these points are vertices of an angle.- **Median**: A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. This also does not guarantee equal distance from two distinct points unless they form part of a triangle.- **Altitude**: An altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular dropped from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. This similarly does not satisfy the condition of being equidistant from two distinct points on its own.**Conclusion:**To achieve the goal of being equidistant from the entrances of both a zoo and an amusement park, the vendor should locate his stand on the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining the two entrances.**Answer:**- **A. Perpendicular bisector**
