Here is a room with two lasers. Your goal is to get to the opposite side of the room. However there is a catch; if you do not stay equidistant from each laser, you will be blasted. Describe in a Word document how you would find the straight-line path across the room. Be sure to use correct geometric terminology from what you have learned so far.

Explanation:

we would calculate the line of sight between the 2 lasers.

then we would create a line that goes through the middle point between the 2 lasers and is perpendicular to the line between the lasers. if we are lucky, then "You" is on the same perpendicular line. if not, we need to shift our starting point to a point where the perpendicular line hits the wall of the room.

by following that perpendicular line precisely, we we always have the same distance from both lasers.
