A land surveyor places two stakes 500 ft apart. He locates the midpoint between the two stakes and creates a perpendicular to the line that connects these two stakes. He needs to place a third stake 100 ft away along this perpendicular line. To apply the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, the land surveyor would need to identify A the location of the third stake as equidistant from the original two stakes
B the location of the third stake as closer to one of the original two stakes
C a line parallel to the line connecting the two stakes
D a line congruent to the line connecting the two stakes
