Answer:

Angle bisector

Explanation:

Given that a food truck operator is parked in a lot at the corner of two streets. She wants to be equidistant from both streets.

We have to find out where she should park her truck on a perpendicular bisector, and angle bisector, a median, or an altitude

We know the perpendicular bisector is the locus of points equidistant form two points.

But here two streets can be treated as straight lines only.

The angle bisector of two lines will have all the points on the bisector.

Median is not applicable since here no triangle is there neither altitude

So right answer is angle bisector.

She should park her truck on the angle bisector of angle formed by intersection of two roads.
