Question

How do I prove that the ray drawn bisects the angle?

Community Answer

Check the angles between either of the original rays and the bisector line. If they are equal, then the line is the exact bisector.

Question

How do I draw a perpendicular bisector in a right angle?

Community Answer

A right angle does not have a perpendicular bisector. (Only a 180° angle has that.) A right angle can be bisected following the steps in the above article.

Question

What is angle bisector theorem in a triangle?

Community Answer

When you bisect the angle of a triangle, it divides the opposite side into two line segments. The angle bisector theorem states that the relative size of these two line segments is proportional to the relative size of the other two sides of the triangle.

Question

What is the angle bisector theorem?

Community Answer

A bisector divides an angle into two equal parts. The theorem states whenever a perpendicular is drawn from the bisector to arms of the angle would have same length.

Question

Why is the radius taken more than half while drawing the bisector of the angle?

Donagan

Top Answerer

That technique increases the likelihood of an accurately drawn bisector.

Question

When I draw the interior arc, do I draw it keeping the width of the compass the same as how I drew the first arc?

Donagan

Top Answerer

No. While the two interior arcs must have the same radius, those radii do not have to be the same as the radius of the first arc drawn.
