Question 654531: I couldn't find the right category for my question. I'm working on conditional statements and biconditionals. For this statement I have to write it as its converse, which I did here.
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
Converse: If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
Now I have to determine if this converse statement is true, and if it is, I have to write it as a biconditional.
But I don't know if it's true or not. I'm not very good at math when it's put into words and statements.
Thanks so much for your help!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your converse statement: If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment then it is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment. ...true

you can say it this way too:
Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem:

A point is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment if and only+if the point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment.
reason:
a biconditional statement is defined to be true whenever both+parts have the same+truth+value.
