Congruence in Right Triangles

Theorem. Perpendicular Bisector Theorem
In a given plane, a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment if and only if it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

Restatement
In a given plane, a point P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB __ if and only if AP=BP.


Since the statement is biconditional, you need to prove two implications:

If point P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB __ , then AP=BP.

If AP=BP, then point P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB __ .
