A land surveyor places two stakes 500 ft apart. He locates the midpoint between the two stakes and creates a perpendicular to the line thal 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...

1. the location of the third stake as equidistant from the original two stakes

2. the location of the third stake as closer to one of the original two stakes

3. a line parallel to the line connecting the

4.two stakes a line congruent to the line connecting the two stakes
