To prove that a point \( P \) lies on the bisector of an angle \( \angle ABC \) when the perpendiculars dropped from \( P \) to the arms of the angle are congruent, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have an angle \( \angle ABC \) with arms \( AB \) and \( AC \). Let \( P \) be a point inside the angle such that the perpendiculars dropped from \( P \) to the arms \( AB \) and \( AC \) are congruent. Denote these perpendiculars as \( PM \) and \( PN \), where \( M \) is the foot of the perpendicular from \( P \) to \( AB \) and \( N \) is the foot of the perpendicular from \( P \) to \( AC \). 2. **Given Information**: ...
