Solution

Let OD and OE be the perpendicular bisectors of sides BC and AB of ABC respectively.
By perpendicular bisector theorem,
O is equidistant from the end points of seg BC i.e. points B and C.
Similarly, point O is equidistant from end points of seg AC i.e points C and A.
Hence, the point of intersection O of the perpendicular bisectors of sides AB and BC is equidistant from vertices A,B,C of ABC.
